Summary
Autofluorescence (AF) imaging is a novel imaging method that allows topographic mapping of lipofuscin distribution in the retinal pigment
epithelium cell monolayer as well as of other fluorophores that may occur with disease in the outer retina and the subneurosensory space.
Excessive accumulation of lipofuscin in retinal pigment epithelium cells represents a common downstream pathogenetic pathway in
various hereditary and complex retinal diseases, including Age-related Macular Degeneration. AF imaging has been shown to be useful with
regard to understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnostics, phenotype-genotype correlation, identification of predictive markers
for disease progression, and monitoring of novel therapies. FAF imaging gives information above and beyond that obtained
by conventional imaging methods, such as fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography. Its
clinical value coupled with its simple, efficient, and noninvasive nature is increasingly appreciated. This instructional course summarizes
principles and AF findings in various macular and retinal diseases and will give clues as to how to read and implement AF images in routine
clinical work.
