Xiaolin Wang, MS:
Hello. My name is Xaiolin Wang. I’m a senior research associate from Doheny Eye Institute. In parts of the physiology of wet AMD, we know RPE is a crucial role. Being able to assess RPE function has been challenging clinically. RPE health is estimated by fundus autofluorescence. Since fundus autofluorescence is intensity based imaging is can only provide qualitative assessment.
