Abstract
Age related macular degeneration is one of the most frequently occurring reasons for decreased vision in the elderly population in Western countries.1 It is divided in a non-exudative form with formation of drusen of the retinal pigment epithelium, and the exudative form with subfoveal chorioretinal neovascularisation and subretinal exudation. Since the subretinal alterations typical for age related macular degeneration may lead to a change in the superficial contour of the retina, it was the aim of this study to evaluate whether the visibility of the macular wall reflex depends on the presence and size of macular drusen as part of age related macular degeneration.
