If I have Drusen, Does that Mean I’ll Develop Macular Degeneration?
Not necessarily. Drusen are deposits that contain complex lipids (fats) and calcium that can accumulate as a person ages. Many people have drusen in both eyes and have no vision impairment. If your eye doctor detects drusen in your eyes, you should continue to seek eye care regularly and use an Amsler Grid to monitor your vision.
