Value is the dimension of lightness/darkness. In terms of a spectral definition of color, value describes the overall intensity or strength of the light. If hue can be thought of as a dimension going around a wheel, then value is a linear axis running through the middle of the wheel, as seen below:
Drusen are tiny yellow or white deposits in a layer of the retina called Bruchs membrane. They are the most common early sign of dry age-related macular degeneration. Drusen are made up of lipids, a type of fatty protein. They may be the result of a failure of the eye to dispose of waste products that are produced when the photoreceptors of the eye drop off older parts of the cell. There are several types of drusen with different levels of risk.
It shows multiple drusen in the macula. They are both small and large, both hard and small and there are no significant pigmentary changes present. If you perform a cross-sectional OCT through the foveal center, we will see the hallmarks of early AMD.Specifically we see multiple drusen.rusen are defined on OCT as an elevation of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). They are filled with a heterogeneous material that is of variable reflectivity. Bruchâs membrane may or may not be visible at the base of the druse.
