摘要: Disease may be detected, monitored, etc. by detecting metabolic dysfunction in a patient's eyes. In one embodiment of an apparatus, excitation light is generated source to induce autofluorescence ocular tissue (e.g., retinal tissue), wherein the excites flavoprotein (FA) and minimizes non-flavoprotein autofluorescence. At least single image representing induced captured. The at intensified increase signal strength analyzed generate indicator whether patient has or more eye damage, disease that causes progression disease, effectiveness treatment, personalized treatment for subject,
