Main outcome measures included prevalence and 15-year incidence of reticular drusen determined by grading stereoscopic color fundus photographs.RESULTS: The prevalence at baseline and the 15-year cumulative incidence in either eye of reticular drusen was 0.7% and 3.0%, respectively. The 15-year incidence of reticular drusen varied with. age from 0.4% in those 43 to 54 years of age to 6.6% in those 75 years or older at baseline (P
