Abstract

AIM- ANALYSE THE ABNORMALITIES OF FUNDUS AUTOFLUROSCENCE [AF] AND CORRESPONDING REFRACTIVE ERROR FOUND IN CSR

DESIGN- A CROSS- SECTIONAL STUDY OF 33 CSR PATIENTS

METHOD- FUNDUS AF TAKEN BY FUNDUS CAMERA AND IMAGES COMPARED WITH THEIR FUNDUS APPEARANCE, FLUROSCEIN ANGIOGRAM AND OCT . REFRACTION STATUS WAS ALSO TAKEN

RESULT- MEAN AGE WAS 39 YEARS. 66.67 OF IRREGULAR HYPOAUTOFLURESCENCE [hf] WERE ACUTE CSR, REST 33.33 WERE CHRONIC. ALL GRANULAR, STIPPLED GRANULAR AND NORMAL HYPERAUTOFLUORESCENCE [HF] WERE CHRONIC. ALL REGULAR hf WERE ACUTE, WHEREAS STIPPLED HF WERE FOUND IN 50 OF EACH. GRANULAR HF HAD MILD VISUAL LOSS [VL]; IRREGULAR hF HAD MODERATE VL; 66.67 OF STIPPLED GRANULAR HF HAS MODERATE; REST 33.33 HAS MILD VL; ALL REGULAR hf HAS MILD VL; WHEREAS NORMAL AUTOFLURESCENCE PATTERN SHOWED NEAR TO NORMAL VISION

CONCLUSION- FAF IS AN INDIRECT MEASURE OF FUNCTIONALITY OF RPE. COLLABORATING WITH REFRACTIVE STATUS, VISUAL POTENTIAL CAN BE ESTIMATED IN VARIOUS FAF PATTERNS
