Drusen
Drusen (singular, "druse") are tiny yellow or white accumulations of extracellular material that build up between
Bruch's membrane and the
retinal pigment epithelium of the
eye. The presence of a few small ("hard") drusen is normal with advancing age, and most people over 40 have some hard drusen. However, the presence of larger and more numerous drusen in the
macula is a common early sign of age-related
macular degeneration (AMD).
