fundus autofluorescence
Fundus autofluorescence is a medical imaging technique used to view the back of the eye, specifically the retina. It captures natural light emitted by certain substances in the retina when exposed to a specific wavelength of light. This technique helps doctors identify and monitor conditions like age-related macular degeneration and retinal dystrophies by highlighting areas of damage or abnormality. The resulting images provide valuable insights into the health of the eye, assisting in diagnosis and treatment planning without needing invasive procedures.
