Abstract
Orange pigment was the most hyperfluorescent FAF finding. Because the presence of orange pigment is a known risk factor for malignant transformation, the use of camera-based FAF imaging may improve our ability to identify those choroidal nevi that will transform into malignant melanoma. More long-term follow-up studies will be required to determine the exact prognostic value of our findings.
