This is a sample of an FAF solution we developed for the Topcon 50EX. The
capture camera is a Canon 5D Mark II.  We can also do the Zeiss FF4.

Generally, lack of utilization of the technology is commonplace. If there
was a billing code specific to FAF, popularity would dramatically increase,
one would think.  I agree with Denise on how easy it is to create FAF's on
the Spectralis.  We came out with the fundus camera FAF version for those
that cannot afford higher end imaging solutions.  It's straightforward and
simple, too.

Marty, thanks for opening the discussion as FAF is an important diagnostic
tool, by either SLO or fundus camera.

Financial interest.
