    Description
    G-FAF image of left eye better reveals more extensive hypoautofluorescent streaks than might be apparent on standard fundus photo. Characteristic “Para-streak phenomenon” of focal hyperautofluorescent spots are seen along the margins of the dark angioid streaks, corresponding to the areas of pigment clumping seen clinically.
