Comments and Conclusions

  • PAF allows 200 degrees of the fundus to be imaged without dilation in a single 250 msec flash.
  • PAF documents the integrity of the RPE (and overlying photoreceptors) throughout the entire image.
  • PAF abnormalities occur in myriad retinal disorders.
  • No other technology-including OCT and BIO- provides such demonstrable abnormalities of the RPE.
  • PAF reveals abnormalities often invisible to ophthalmoscopy.
  • Additional studies are required to determine the clinical significance of these remarkable images.
