Patient Presentation: A 23-year-old obese female was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and referred to neurosurgery for ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A baseline ocular examination was performed prior to the procedure.
On examination, vision was 20/200 in the right eye, and 20/40 in the left eye. There was a right relative afferent pupillary defect. Slit lamp examination was normal.
A dilated fundus examination was performed demonstrating the following:

Patient Presentation: A 67-year-old woman was referred to ophthalmology for AMD screening. She has no ocular complaints. No other neurological symptoms. She has a history of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, for which she is taking medications for. On presentation, visual acuity was 20/25 OU.
Question: Based on the findings, what is the most likely diagnosis?
Question: How does a reticular pseudodrusen differ from a typical drusen?
Question: How does the prognosis of reticular pseudodrusen differ from typical drusen? Reticular pseudodrusens are ______
