Abstract
Drusen-like deposits in patients with SLE were independent of renal disease and were best detected with SDOCT. Lupus-related glomerulonephritis was associated with more fundus abnormalities and a screening SDOCT should be considered in all patients with SLE. Drusen-like deposits in the absence of glomerulonephritis may support the recent proposal that complement alteration is the primary cause of these lesions.
