Influence of lens autofluorescence on retinal nerve fiber layer evaluation

Abstract: ABSTRACT.Background: Yellow-brown coloration of the human lens increases with age and is associated with increasing lens autofluorescence. This may interfere with retinal image through scatter and absorption. Patientsandkiethods: We measured the lens autofluorescence (AF) of 30 eyes of 30 healthy subjects and evaluated their retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) visibility from fundus photographs. These otherwise healthy eyes showed a varying degree of yellow-brown coloration of the lens. Lens fluorometry was carri… Show more

“…The visibility of the RNFL is improved by optimizing the imaging conditions: a large pupil, dark and evenly distributed fundus pigmentation and clear optical media (Teesalu & Airaksinen 1998). Nuclear sclerosis of the ageing lens may decrease the quality of RNFL images (Siik et al. 1997).…”
