Purpose To evaluate whether a practical method of imaging lenticular autofluorescence (AF) can provide an individualized measure correlated with age-related lens yellowing in older subjects undergoing tests involving shorter wavelength lights. Methods Lenticular AF was imaged with 488-nm excitation using a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope (cSLO) routinely used for retinal AF imaging. Th...
