Drusen: There can be other types of yellow spots, but most likely these are drusen, a precursor to macular degeneration (armd). Drusen may progress to armd, but often do not. For now, you should take a daily multivitamin and obtain an amsler grid and learn how to use it (it's easy). See your eye md.
