متن کاملFundus autofluorescence and mfERG for early detection of retinal alterations in patients using chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine.
PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the value of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) in early detection of retinal alterations in patients using chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine (CQ/HCQ). METHODS FAF imaging was performed in a consecutive series of 25 patients with long-term CQ or HCQ treatment (duration, >1 year), with or without visual disturbances. In...
متن کاملFundus autofluorescence applications in retinal imaging
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a relatively new imaging technique that can be used to study retinal diseases. It provides information on retinal metabolism and health. Several different pathologies can be detected. Peculiar AF alterations can help the clinician to monitor disease progression and to better understand its pathogenesis. In the present article, we review FAF principles and clinic...
متن کاملFundus autofluorescence imaging of retinal dystrophies
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a non-invasive imaging technique that enables the visualization of lipofuscin changes in the retinal pigment epithelium. This study aims to illustrate the spectrum of FAF changes in a variety of retinal dystrophies. For this purpose, we examined patients with retinal dystrophies such as Stargardt disease, Best vitelliform macular dystrophy, and retinal dystrophi...
