A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh examined optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers in patients with non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who later converted to exudative AMD. The study analyzed data from the fellow eyes of patients with non-neovascular AMD and exudative AMD, comparing various biomarkers such as drusen type, subfoveal ellipsoid zone disruption, and central macular thickness. The results showed subtle distinctions between the two groups, but no significant differences were observed. Further research is needed to understand the influence of one eye's status on the progression from non-neovascular AMD to exudative AMD in the fellow eye. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study has developed a deep learning model to detect reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. RPD is a significant factor in vision loss for individuals with AMD, but it is challenging to identify. The deep learning model produced RPD segmentations that had higher agreement with retinal specialists compared to the agreement among the specialists themselves. In external test datasets, the model performed similarly to retinal specialists in detecting RPD. The model allows for automatic detection and quantification of RPD with expert-level performance and is publicly available. However, it is important to note that this study has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]
