Correlation between fundus autofluorescence and visual function in patients with cone-rod dystrophy

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the relationship between autofluorescence (AF) signal measured with ultra-wide field imaging and visual functions in patients with cone-rod dystrophy (CORD). A retrospective chart review was performed for CORD patients. We performed the visual field test and...
