Age, lipofuscin and melanin oxidation affect fundus near-infrared autofluorescence
Background: Fundus autofluorescence is a non-invasive imaging technique in ophthalmology. Conventionally, short-wavelength autofluorescence (SW-AF) is used for detection of lipofuscin, a byproduct of the visual cycle which accumulates with age or disease in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Furt...
