The literature on the appearance of buried optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is conflicting. Some authors have described a focal subretinal hyperreflective mass posterior to the outer plexiform and outer nuclear layers [1]; whereas others described ONHD as a hyporeflective round or ovoid structure containing hyperreflective foci, located anterior to the lamina cribrosa [2–4]. In this study, we aimed to clarify this controversy with multimodal imaging. We attempted to correlate our findings with published histological findings.
