Peripheral Autofluorescence and Clinical Findings in Neovascular and Non-neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration – Corrected Proof
Purpose:
To characterize peripheral fundus autofluorescence (FAF) abnormalities in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), correlate these with clinical findings, and identify risk factors associated with these FAF abnormalities.
Design:
Clinic-based, cross-sectional study.
Participants:
A total of 119 consecutive patients: 100 patients with AMD (200 eyes) and 19 patients without AMD (38 eyes).
Methods:
In a prospective study performed at the Doheny Eye Institute, University of Southern California, widefield 200-degree FAF and color images were obtained by the Optos 200Tx Ultra-Widefield device (Optos, Dunfermline, Scotland) using a standardized imaging protocol. The FAF images were captured centered on the fovea, and (Read more...)
