Abstract
Purpose:
To report photographic findings from a case of acute macular neuroretinopathy.
Methods:
Fundus photography on color transparencies, red-free digital CCD-recording, and laser-scanning ophthalmoscopy with monochromatic red and blue illumination.
Results:
The visibility of the retinal lesions was markedly enhanced by narrowing the illumination bandwidth and by the stray light suppression of the confocal laser scanning ophthalmoscope.
Conclusions:
The diagnosis of acute macular neuroretinopathy, and possibly other chorioretinal diseases as well, can be facilitated by multispectral imaging and stray-light reduction optics.
