Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) should be investigated when subretinal fluid is observed adjacent to the optic disc. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is useful in these cases, as it highlights retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes. Areas of hyperautofluorescence indicate RPE stress, while hypoautofluorescence suggests atrophy, aiding in the identification of PCV-related abnormalities.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

In Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is used to assess retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes. Areas of active fluid accumulation may show hyperautofluorescence due to RPE stress, while chronic lesions exhibit hypoautofluorescence indicating RPE atrophy. FAF is valuable for monitoring CSC progression and guiding treatment.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy

In Central Serous Chorioretinopathy (CSC), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) typically reveals areas of hyperautofluorescence due to the accumulation of subretinal fluid and changes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Over time, areas of hypoautofluorescence may appear, indicating RPE atrophy. FAF is useful in tracking disease progression and assessing the health of the RPE.
