title: Wide-field fundus autofluorescence corresponds to visual fields in chorioretinitis patients.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Detection of peripheral fundus autofluorescence (FAF) using conventional scanning laser ophthalmoscopes (SLOs) is difficult and requires pupil dilation. Here we evaluated the diagnostic properties of wide-field FAF detected by a two-laser wavelength wide-field SLO in uveitis patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational case series of four patients suffering from different types of posterior uveitis/chorioretinitis. Wide-field FAF images were compared to visual fields. Panretinal FAF was detected by a newly developed SLO, which allows FAF imaging of up to 200° of the retina in one scan without the need for pupil dilation. Visual fields were obtained by Goldmann manual perimetry.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Findings from wide-field FAF imaging showed correspondence to visual field defects in all cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Wide-field FAF allowed the detection of visual field defect-related alterations of the retinal pigment epithelium in all four uveitis cases.
