Correlation between ellipsoid zone thickness and the presence of subretinal drusenoid deposits in age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose: Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are associated with systemic vascular diseases that compromise ocular perfusion. We demonstrate that SDDs are associated with decreased ellipsoid zone (EZ) thickness, further evidence of hypoxic damage.

Methods: Post hoc analysis of a cross-sectional study.
