3. Yan Y, Zhou X, Chu Z et al: Vision Loss in Optic Disc Drusen Correlates With Increased Macular Vessel Diameter and Flux and Reduced Peripapillary Vascular Density. American journal of ophthalmology 2020, 218:214-224.

Highlights from this paper: Optic disc drusen is the most common risk factor associated with loss of blood supply to the anterior optic nerve. This is the first large study analyzing vascular changes in optic disc drusen. Analysis of optical coherence tomography angiography allows future prediction of who is more likely to develop vision loss in optic disc drusen

4. Sangeethabalasri Pugazhendhi S, Yan Y, Liao YJ. Multimodal Ophthalmic Imaging of Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy With and Without Optic Disc Drusen. J Neuroophthalmol. 2021 Apr 14. doi: 10.1097/WNO.0000000000001242.  PMID: 33870937. Online ahead of print.

Highlights from this paper: This case series compares detailed ophthalmic imaging features of young onset anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in a patient with optic disc drusen compared with another patient with older onset anterior ischemic optic neuropathy not associated with optic disc drusen.
