Hyperautofluorescent material inside areas of macular atrophy may reveal non‐lipofuscin fluorophores in late stage <scp>AMD</scp>
Despite RPE and, thus, lipofuscin are greatly absent in MA, considerable FAF, preferably at short wavelengths, was found in those lesions. Drusen, persistent sub-RPE-BL material, basal laminar deposits, persistent activated RPE, and sclera were identified as putative sources of this fluorescence. FLIO can help to characterize respective fluorophores.
