Table 3 Classification of retinal points by pigment, drusen size and autofluorescence pattern.

Pigment Drusen size Autofluorescence, number (%)
Normal Hypo Hyper
Presence* No drusen 56 (83.6) 7 (10.4) 4 (6.0)
Intermediate 3 (100.0) 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0)
Large 66 (72.5) 1 (1.1) 24 (26.4)
Absence† No drusen 389 (93.5) 11 (2.6) 16 (3.8)
Small 32 (100.0) 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0)
Intermediate 26 (96.3) 0 (0.0) 1 (3.7)
Large 125 (79.6) 11 (7.0) 21 (13.4)

*None of the points with pigment had small drusen; p = 0.0015; †p<0.0001.

Small drusen <63 μ; intermediate drusen 63–125 μ; large drusen >125 μ.

Hyper, Increased autofluorescence; Hypo, decreased autofluorescence.
