Guidelines for the application of the fundus autofluorescence in age-related macular degeneration(2023)

Fundus autofluorescence(FAF)imaging is based on the fluorescence excited by the endogenous fluorophores in the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid, mainly referring to lipofuscin(LF)and melanin. The non-invasive examination method can imply the function of retinal pigment epithelium by observing...

Description
Summary:Fundus autofluorescence(FAF)imaging is based on the fluorescence excited by the endogenous fluorophores in the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid, mainly referring to lipofuscin(LF)and melanin. The non-invasive examination method can imply the function of retinal pigment epithelium by observing the spatial distribution of LF or melanin. This technique has unique advantages in the diagnosis and differentiation of age-related macular degeneration(ARMD). This guideline is to standardize and interpret the application of FAF in different stages and classifications of ARMD.
