Correlation of partial outer retinal thickness with scotopic and mesopic fundus-controlled perimetry in patients with reticular drusen

Abstract Purpose To correlate partial outer retinal thickness with scotopic and mesopic fundus-controlled perimetry in patients with reticular drusen (RDR). Design Observational case series with controls of similar age Methods Twenty eyes from 18 patients with RDR (mean age 75.8 years) and 20 eyes from 20 healthy controls (mean age 75.5 years) were included. Scotopic and mesopic fundus-controlled perimetry was performed in patients. The localized partial outer retinal thickness at the site of test stimuli was determined as the distance between the outer border of the outer plexiform layer and the inner border of the ellipsoid zone and topographically corrected according to measurements in controls. Results The mean partial outer retinal thickness in patients was 65.8μm over areas with RDR and 76.4μm (p
