The overall goal of quantitative autofluorescence, or qAF, is to evaluate the overall level of lipofuscin in the support cells of the retina, the retinal pigment epithelium, or RPE, in both healthy and diseased eyes. This technique can help answer

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) supports the sensory retina through recycling visual cycle byproducts, which accumulate as lipofuscin. These products are autofluorescent and can be qualitatively imaged in vivo. Here, we describe a method to quantitatively image RPE lipofuscin using confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy.
