Description
Lipofuscin accumulates in the pigment epithelium with age and in certain retinal diseases. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is an index of lipofuscin that can be imaged using retinal filters. This course will discuss the use of FAF for clinical understanding, early diagnosis, and appropriate management and referral of retinal pathology.
