To examine the association between subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD) identified by multimodal retinal imaging and visual function in older eyes with normal macular health or in the earliest phases of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD status for each eye was defined according to the AREDS 9-step classification system (normal=step 1, early AMD=steps 2–4) based on color fundus photographs. Visual functions measured were best-corrected photopic visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and light sensitivity, mesopic visual acuity, low luminance deficit, and rod-mediated dark adaptation. SDD were identified through multi-modal imaging (color fundus photographs, infrared reflectance and fundus autofluorescence images, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography). The sample included 1,202 eyes (958 eyes with normal health, 244 eyes with early AMD). In normal eyes SDD were not associated with any visual function evaluated. In eyes with early AMD, dark adaptation was markedly delayed in eyes with SDD versus no SDD (4-minute delay on average), p=0.0213. However this association diminished after age adjustment, p=0.2645. Other visual functions in early AMD eyes were not associated with SDD. In a study specifically focused on eyes in normal macular health and in the earliest phases of AMD, early AMD eyes with SDD have slower dark adaptation, largely attributable to the older ages of eyes with SDD; they did not exhibit deficits in other visual functions. SDD in older eyes in normal macular health are not associated with any visual functions evaluated.
