    Description
    Right eye G-FAF photo of a 50 year old patient, known case of bilateral familial dominant drusens with right eye CNVM, having undergone multiple intravitreal anti-VEGF injections. Fundus autofluorescence better highlights the area of RPE tear in right eye (temporal to fovea), which shows hypoautofluorescence due to lack of RPE and its pigments which accounts for autofluorescence signal. Whereas the linear hyperautofluorescence, represents the torn bunched up retinal pigment epithelium.
