Background: Drusen and drusenoid deposits are a hallmark of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Nowadays, a multimodal retinal imaging approach enables the detection of these deposits. However, quantitative data on subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) are still missing. Here, we compare the capability of en-face drusen and SDD area detection in eyes with non-exudative AMD using conventional imaging modalities versus Retro mode imaging. We also quantitatively assess the topographic distribution of drusen and SDDs. Methods: In total, 120 eyes of 90 subjects (mean age ± standard deviation = 74.6 ± 8.6 years) were included. Coherent en-face drusen and SDD areas were measured via near-infrared reflectance, green (G-) and blue (B-) fundus autofluorescence (AF), and Retro mode imaging. Drusen phenotypes were classified by correlating en-face drusen areas using structural high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography. The topographic distribution of drusen was analyzed according to a modified ETDRS (Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study) grid. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis was applied to determine the inter-reader agreement in the SDD en-face area assessment. Results: The largest coherent en-face drusen area was found using Retro mode imaging with a mean area of 105.2 ± 45.9 mm2 (deviated left mode (DL)) and 105.4 ± 45.5 mm2 (deviated right mode (DR)). The smallest en-face drusen areas were determined by GAF (50.9 ± 42.6 mm2) and BAF imaging (49.1 ± 42.9 mm2) (p < 0.001). The inter-reader agreement for SDD en-face areas ranged from 0.93 (DR) to 0.70 (BAF). The topographic analysis revealed the highest number of SDDs in the superior peripheral retina, whereas sub-retinal pigment epithelium drusen were mostly found in the perifoveal retina. Retro mode imaging further enabled the detection of the earliest SDD stages. Conclusions: Retro mode imaging allows for a detailed detection of drusen phenotypes. While hundreds/thousands of SDDs can be present in one eye, the impact of SDD number or volume on AMD progression still needs to be evaluated. However, this new imaging modality can add important knowledge on drusen development and the pathophysiology of AMD.
