Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) affects 50% of babies screened and, of these, 4% will develop sight threatening Figure 1 (a, b) Periodic acid-Schiff reaction staining of guttae (black triangle) of a stripped Descemet’s membrane in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and drusen (white triangle) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). (c, d) Near-infrared reflectance (NIR, c) image and simultaneous spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT, d) of an eye with macular drusen. (e, f) Analysis of macular drusen in FECD and control group showed no significant difference between both groups (e).
