Autofluorescence Testing and Vision Loss
Autofluorescence Testing May Detect Retinal Damage Before Vision Loss Occurs Many eye disorders that can lead to loss of vision are often detected after injury to vision has occurred. Visual field analysis is helpful in detecting existing damage but is not useful in detecting early dysfunction. Researchers at the University of Michigan have adapted
