What is known The prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been explored in many studies and societies. Information is missing about its prevalence and associations in very old individuals. The same holds true for reticular pseudodrusen of the macula. What is new In an ethnically mixed, very old population in Bashkortostan / Russia, the prevalence of AMD (any AMD: 47.1%; late AMD:13.7%) was statistically independent of most systemic and ocular parameters. Higher prevalence of reticular pseudodrusen correlated with shorter axial length.
