For one physician, we do a lot of FAF for AMD and dystrophies. The other
retina specialists are doing more as time goes on. Our doctors really thought
the JOP supplement dedicated to FAF was a wonderful resource and tool - we
bought extras to give to residents when it was published

This is a very conclusive study. I didnt look back to see if anyone else posted
this.

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!
