The diagnosis of RPD requires multimodal imaging and it is important to distinguish them from other types of drusen. AMD can be a blinding disease with a huge impact of quality of life and the presence of RPD can further complicate the disease as RPD portend a faster progression of AMD to the wet form and are also known to be associated with geographic atrophy.
