Fundus Autofluorescence and Fundus Perimetry in the Junctional Zone of Geographic Atrophy in Patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Abstract

Areas of increased FAF outside GA may be associated with variable degrees of loss of retinal sensitivity and suggest a functional correlate of excessive accumulation of retinal pigment epithelium lipofuscin in AMD. Combining in vivo recording of FAF and retinal sensitivity, using SLO technology, may give important clues in the understanding of mechanisms of disease.
