Figure 1.
Fundus photographs from participants in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) illustrating
eyes in the age-related macular degeneration Categories 2 and 3. Photo A, Left eye in Category
2 shows nonextensive intermediate drusen, mostly located supertemporal to the center of the macula.
No drusen is 125 um or greater in diameter, although some are 63 um or greater and their cumulative
area is less than AREDS circle O-2 (about 0.2 disk areas). Photo B, one left eye in Category 3
depicts the lower limit of the caregory, having 1 large drusen (grater than or equal to 125 um)
in the 8-o'clock position from the center of the macula, while another left eye (photo C) shows
many large drusen (totaling at least 1 disk area) scattered throughout the macula.
