Abstract:PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to characterize fundus autofluorescence lifetimes of retinal drusen in patients with AMD.
METHODS.Patients with AMD and retinal drusen and healthy controls of similar age were examined. A fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscope was used. Retinal autofluorescence was excited using a 473-nm pulsed laser, and fundus autofluorescence lifetimes of the central retina (308) were measured in two distinct spectral channels (short: 498 to 560 nm [SSC]; long: 560 to 720 nm [LSC… Show more
