- Description
- Fundus autofluorescence photograph of both eyes of a patient with MacTel type 2. Fundus autofluorescence can aid in early diagnosis of disease, showing development of foveal hyperautofluorescence corresponding to deterioration of macular pigment and possible damage to Muller cells. As the disease progresses, RPE hyperplasia may develop and manifests as hypoautofluorescent regions.
