To the larger question: we do about 100 Spectralis OCTs here for every FAF that 
is ordered. This speaks to a. the comfort level our docs have with OCT as a 
diagnostic tool, and b. the fact that FAF is underutilized.

Subject: [optimal] FAF with the Canon CR-2 plus

The retina doc at a practice I work with just found out that they own a Canon 
CR-2 Plus in one of their remote offices.  Can anyone comment on the FAF 
(autofluorescence) on this camera?  I could only find a few images online.

I realize this is designed as a non-myd, but we would probably take the images 
dilated.

This opens a slightly larger question: is fundus camera FAF as good a tool as 
Spectralis FAF?  And please, I am more interested in diagnostic ability than 
aesthetics.

Open the flamethrowers!
