Fundus autofluorescence lifetimes in age‐related macular degeneration versus healthy controls in a pseudophakic population
Although long fluorescence lifetimes of the lens can affect FAF lifetime measurements, prolonged FAF lifetimes in AMD are specific to the disease and not a lens artefact as shown in pseudophakic eyes. The effect of AMD on the lifetimes outweighs that of age. Patients with SDD, who have a higher risk of AMD progression, also show longer FAF lifetimes.
