Yes Marty, thanks for opening the discussion! Great topic. Making a dedicated
FAF unit out of a Myd camera you might
have in closet is a very cost effective idea. Topcon 50VTs, 50X, 50IA, 50EX,
Kowa 50R
Just an example.....
The shopping list:
FAF filters to replace current exciter and barrier.
Upper or lower port digital adapter (Depending on camera model)
Canon 5D Mark ii or iii
Retinaphile software, full version or just capture version
Average price to upgrade a 50EX lower port system with a 5D Mark ii (
reconditioned),,,,,$7,795.00.00
Close but less for upperport systems.

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.

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!
