TL;DR: In this article, the authors report QAF in a large cohort of healthy children, including 70 healthy Caucasian children (5-18 years) were multimodal imaged, including QAF and spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and retinal thicknesses were measured at predefined locations along horizontal meridian.

TL;DR: In normal eyes, outliers regarding autofluorescent granule load and AF intensity signals are rare among RPE cells, suggesting that granule deposition and subsequent AF follows intrinsic control mechanisms at a cellular level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors optimize histologic hyperspectral autofluorescence imaging and image analysis for recognition of drusen and sub-RPE deposits (including BLinD and basal laminar deposit), for potential clinical application.

TL;DR: In this paper, natural mechanisms that protect the human retina from damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation have been investigated, such as the natural lens, modern intraocular lenses, and wearing of sunglasses with appropriate filter function, particularly in childhood and adolescence.
