I can't speak to Fundus FAF, although Tim Bennett gave an outstanding OPS
Webinar last week on just this subject
As for creating FAF on the Spectralis, it couldn't be easier.
I learned a few tips from Tim. I've been OVER sampling on the Spectralis
thinking I was helping, when in fact, hurting...
All told, as an "old dog" I like the less grainy images on the Fundus generated
FAF, but appreciate the work required to retro fit a camera if not a more
modern instrument.
We've taken amazing images with the Spectralis. As with all things imaging,
if you want your best photo, pick your best patient.....
MHO ( my humble opinion)

May I please transfer this conversation to the OPS general membership forum and
continue to encourage everyone to do so as well as we transition over to a one
stop shop for all things OPS.

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!
