  1. Acquired Vitelliform Lesion

    Acquired Vitelliform Lesions (AVL) are characterized by subretinal yellowish deposits and can be assessed using fundus autofluorescence (FAF). FAF imaging shows hyperautofluorescence in the lesion area due to lipofuscin accumulation. Over time, hypoautofluorescence may appear as the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degenerates, making FAF essential for monitoring disease progression. #AVL #FAF #Hyperautofluorescence #Lipofuscin #RPE

  2. Diabetic Macular Edema

    Diabetic macular edema (DME) with longstanding subretinal fluid (SRF) can lead to hyperautofluorescence on fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging. This hyperautofluorescence indicates chronic damage and accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). It is a potential biomarker of worse prognosis, as it suggests persistent retinal stress and damage. #DME #SubretinalFluid #Hyperautofluorescence #FAF #Biomarker #WorsePrognosis
