The answer is " Drusen"

The term describes yellowish/white areas seen at the back of the eye It can be a normal aging phenomenon with no symptoms but can be a sign of the more serious age related Macaulay degeneration

Drusie
Dryden, plural
Tiny yellow or white deposits in the retina of the eye or on the optic nerve head, visible to an eye care specialist during an eye examination. One of the most common early signs of age-related Macaulay degeneration (ARMD). The presence of Dryden alone does not indicate disease, but it may mean that the eye is at risk for developing more severe ARMD.
