Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive genetic disorder characterized by the degeneration of photoreceptor cells, primarily affecting night and peripheral vision. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a key diagnostic tool in monitoring RP, utilizing the natural fluorescence of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) to detect areas of activity and atrophy. FAF imaging helps identify patterns of progression and areas of retinal degeneration, providing crucial insights for assessing disease severity and potential therapeutic responses.
