Abstract:

At present, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) takes third place among the causes of blindness and low vision in the middle-aged and senile persons. The medical and social significance of this pathology is motivated by the possibility of losing central vision and general ability to perform professional duties. One of the modern methods of diagnostics of this disease is eye fundus autofluorescence. Its introduction into everyday clinical practice increases the effectiveness of detecting early signs of AMD and helps clarify the indications for the appointment of conservative treatment.

Keywords:
