AMD

Question 1

Wavy lines in the RPE (i.e Retinal Epithelial Detachment) can be caused which different things?

Answer 1

1 - fluid (black)
2 - Drusen (light grey-ish)
3 - Fibrovascular (more dark greyish/mixed/messy)

Question 2

What is a disciform scar?

Answer 2

Scar tissue from the choroidal neovascularisation in wet AMD.

Question 3

Where does the neovascularisation in wet AMD happen and what types are there?

Answer 3

In the choroid (not retinal surface), hence why they don’t bleed in same way as diabetic neovascularisation.

CNV Type 3 - INTRARETINAL (start in retina and eventually would make their way to choroid)
CNV Type 2 - subRETINAL (start in choroid, cross RPE)
CNV Type 1 - subRPE (start in choroid, don’t cross RPE)
