changes, retro-mode imaging offers several
advantages. It is a quick, easy, and non-invasive
imaging method. The imaging procedure resembles fundus photography. Contrary to FA and
ICG angiography, retro-mode imaging does not
require an extended capture time or intravenous
dye infusion. Owing to the long wavelength of
the infrared laser, the examination can be done
even in the presence of lens opacity or undilated
pupils. Since infrared light is invisible, people are
more comfortable during the examination [19].
25.5 Techniques
The patient should sit comfortably at a wellmatched table height. The table height should be
matched according to each patient so that the
patient leans forward into the fundus camera; this
reduces the chances of the patient pulling the
head back during the procedure. The patient
should be asked to place his/her chin on the chin
rest with the forehead well approximated to the
head bar (Fig. 25.3). The photographer should
align the camera using the joystick to move back
and forth and upward and downward, directing it
toward the patient’s fundus through the pupil
using the fundus camera. The image should be
focused before capturing the picture to eliminate
unwanted reexes or artifacts. The crosshairs
should be kept in sharp focus for good focusing,
and the camera dial can be used for ner focusing. Patients should be asked to blink before capturing the fundus image as this gives a better
lubricated corneal surface, thereby improving
image quality and preventing patients from blinking during fundus image capture.
25.5.1 Stereophotography
Stereophotography gives important diagnostic
information by imparting a sense of depth. It was
used as early as 1909 but was popularized by Lee
Allen in the 1960s, who described a practical
sequential stereo fundus photography technique
[20]. It allows in-depth interpretation of both
eyes’ images simultaneously taken from slightly
different angles. The angiogram is read from
right to left; therefore, this order is important as

the photographs are taken and positioned on the
lm accordingly. The lateral shifting of the fundus camera by a few millimeters between two
consecutive photographs causes cornea-induced
parallax as the illuminating beam of the fundus
camera passes through the opposite slopes of the
cornea. This cornea-induced parallax gives a
hyper-stereoscopic effect which is appreciated on
viewing the sequential pair of photographs
together [16]. Specially-made stereo viewers are
available to read the stereo images [21, 22].
25.6 Clinical Application
andInterpretation
25.6.1 Age-Related Macular
Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a
common macular condition affecting older persons characterized by the development of drusen
in the macula, followed by geographic atrophy
(GA) or MNV.
Drusen appear differently on FAF according
to the size, composition, and condition of the
ellipsoid and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)
layer (Figs.25.4 and 25.5b, e). Cuticular drusen
exhibit hypo-autouorescence on FAF.
Geographic atrophy: Depigmented, hypoautouorescent regions corresponding to RPE
loss in dry AMD may indicate early GA
(Fig. 25.6a). Loss of intrinsic uorophores is
seen in RPE atrophy, leading to negligible/nil
FAF signal with clearly dened borders.
Perilesional hyper-autouorescence, which indicates functional disturbances in RPE, is occasionally seen around GA and suggests progression
(Fig.25.6b) [23].
Initially, the FAM (Fundus autouorescence
in age-related macular degeneration) investigation identied eight patterns of FAF in the junction zone of GA [24], which were subsequently
updated to include a ninth pattern [25]. Eyes are
categorized as “none” (when there is no evidence
of enhanced autouorescence signal at the outer
margins of the GA), “localized” (focal, patchy,
and banded autouorescence is detected), and
“diffuse” (branching, ne granular, ne granular
with punctuated spots, trickling, and reticular
autouorescence is detected) in the junction zone
of atrophy [26]. The signicance of these patterns lies in the possibility that they correspond to
various phenotypic forms of the illness. Analysis
of natural history showed that different subtypes
of FAF grow at different rates and that the progression of atrophy in GA and the FAF pattern
are strongly correlated [25, 26].

Multi-color imaging is a good tool for determining the size and extent of GA and assessing
the extent of fovea sparing. IR pictures are best
for visualizing GA (Fig.25.6c). Refractile drusen
are a common complication of AMD and are considered a key predictive biomarker for the emergence of central GA. Soft drusen are seen as
green structures with orange borders in the
multi- color composite image; the reticular drusen
are distinguished as shiny, light-yellow structures. In GR and BR, refractile drusen are
hyper- reectant, but soft drusen only appear
slightly hyper- reectant (Fig.25.4c, f) [27].
Drusen has a pseudo-3D appearance on retromode imaging, consistent with OCT (optical
coherence tomography) imaging. Retro-mode
imaging identies more drusen than conventional
color fundus photography and cSLO. Retromode imaging is most sensitive in identifying
subtle drusen and can efciently distinguish
between various types of drusen. It can accurately determine the extent of GA and detect retinal changes related to exudative AMD, such as
choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and cystoid
macular edema (CME) [19].
RPE tears: Hypo-autouorescence with welldened borders is seen in areas with absent RPE,
and the adjacent rolled-over RPE appears
hyper-autouorescent.
25.6.2 Polypoidal Choroidal
Vasculopathy (PCV)
Massive submacular hemorrhage or orange
subretinal nodules are strong indicators of
PCV and appear hypo-autouorescent due to
the blockage of the underlying uorescence by
the hemorrhage (Fig. 25.7). In most PCV
patients, polypoidal lesions can be found with
multi-color imaging. Since the lesions are
below the RPE, it is best to visualize the polypoidal lesions and branching neovascular network (BNN) using a multi-color composite or
infrared reectance imaging. On multi-color
imaging, polypoidal lesions appear as darkgreen oval lesions, while BNN is seen as a
stippled gray area on IR. Details of pigment
epithelial detachment (PED) and subretinal
hemorrhage are also clearly discernible [27].
The physical characteristics of PCV, such as
polypoidal lesions and branching vascular networks, can be easily seen with retro-mode
imaging [19].

chronic CSC (longer than 6 months), gravitational tracts are seen as granular hyperautouorescent/hypo-autouorescent areas,
based on the disease duration, due to longstanding subretinal uid (Fig. 25.8). NIRAF
gives better details than BAF in CSC and is preferred for diagnosis and monitoring [27].

The initial stages have increased lipofuscin pro-
duction and a corresponding rise in autouores-
cence. Eventually, chorioretinal atrophy occurs,
causing macular hypo-autouorescence outlined
by hyper-autouorescent ecks (Fig.25.9) [27].
On multi-color imaging, the delineation of the
central area of atrophy is clearer [27]. Any mate-
rial deposition in the retina is seen as a raised area
with various sizes and shapes, uneven borders,
and darker hues on retro-mode imaging [19].

GR.Since PED is located at a deeper level than
SRF, multi- color imaging recognizes it as an elevation of the retinal contour and gives it a greenish hue that is darker than SRF.PED has smaller,

pseudohypopyon stage. A dark lesion surrounded
by hyper-autouorescent deposits is seen in the
vitelliruptive stage. Chorioretinal atrophy occurs
in the atrophic stage, resulting in hypoautouorescence [27]. Retinal elevation during

GR images. The multi-color image shows several

assess the viability of the retina and monitor disease progression [27].
25.6.5 White Dot Syndromes
25.6.5.1 Multiple Evanescent White
Dot Syndrome (MEWDS)
On FAF, hyperuorescent lesions are seen, as
photoreceptor loss unmasks the autouorescence
of the underlying RPE [27].
25.6.6 Drug Toxicity
A hyper-autouorescent parafoveal ring corre-
sponding to photoreceptor damage is seen on
FAF that diminishes over time due to RPE atro-
phy. Bilateral bull’s eye maculopathy is seen in
the late stage of the disease. An arcuate band of
hypo-reectance surrounds the speckled hyper-
reectance at the macula, best seen on infrared
images. Multi-color imaging detects a greater
extent of retinal involvement than color fundus
photos [27].
25.6.5.2 Punctate Inner
Choroidopathy (PIC)
Active PIC lesions manifest as chorioretinal nodules at the sub-RPE level, which show faint
hyper-autouorescence initially or change into
hypo-autouorescent patches when the nodules
breach through the RPE.A hyper-autouorescent
border that is seen around these hypoautouorescent lesions correlates with photoreceptor loss on SD-OCT [27].

Multi-color imaging enables the diagnosis and
monitors the progression of the disease and its
response to treatment. It aids in deciding treatment and prognostication [27].
25.6.8.3 Epiretinal Membrane
The best way to visualize the hyper-reflective
surface folds of the epiretinal membrane are
with GR imaging. The ERM is visible in
multi-color imaging as greenish retinal mem-
branes [27].

who had undergone internal limiting membrane
(ILM) peeling. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) is typically used to
diagnose dissociated optic nerve ber layers
resulting from ILM peeling in macular hole
repair. The dissociated optic nerve ber layer
appears as darker arcuate areas on multi-color
imaging. BR is better than GR for assessing the
dissociated optic nerve ber layer [27].
25.6.8.5 Retinochoroidal Colobomas
The neurosensory retina located within the col-
oboma (also known as the intercalary mem-
brane) is the most frequent location for retinal
breaks and retinal detachments (Fig. 25.13)
[28]. Goel et al. have reported the efcacy of
multi color imaging (MCI) in detecting interca-
lary membrane detachment [29].

25.6.9 Optic Nerve Head Disorders
(MNF)
The MNF appears greenish or greenish-orange
on a multi-color image according to the retinal
thickness. Infrared is best for detecting retinal
thickening due to the high melanin content of
MNF. Multi-color images and infrared
images demarcate disc margins better than
CFP [27].
25.6.8.7 Choroidal Disorders
The characteristics of choroidal and retinal pigmentary lesions, such as choroidal nevus, choroidal melanoma, and choroidal hemangioma,
including margin, extent, and halo, can be
detected using multi-color imaging, especially
when combined with infrared imaging.
Retinal nerve ber layer (RNFL) defects are high-
lighted by multi-color imaging as wedge defects
without a greenish hue in glaucoma, as opposed to
the greenish hue apparent in healthy RNFL.Due
to the wide, shallow, and slanted disc, myopic
crescent, and macular degeneration in myopic
eyes, it can be challenging to interpret the cupping
of the optic disc and the health of the neuroretinal
rim. Unlike color and red-free optic disc photog-
raphy, multi-color imaging can distinguish
between the neuroretinal rim and optic cup. The
use of multi-color imaging helps diagnose the
optic disc pit [30]. Retinoschisis, serous macular
detachment, and retinal atrophy are some of the
signs of optic disc pit maculopathy [27].
