Preliminary study on electrophysiological changes after cellular autograft in age-related macular degeneration [PDF]
Background: Evolving atrophic macular degeneration represents at least 80% of all macular degenerations and is currently without a standardized care. Autologous fat transplantation (AFT) efficacy was demonstrated by several studies, since these cells are

The Use of Fundus Autofluorescence in Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) has been a well-known imaging method for quite some time. However, with developing technologies and novel imaging devices, FAF is being used more often to diagnose and monitor retinal diseases. The density of lipofuscin (LF)
