  • HAF investigator 1 − LAF investigator 2 = highest value of fundus autofluorescence obtained by investigator 1 minus lowest value of fundus autofluorescence obtained by investigator 2.

  • HAF investigator 2 − LAF investigator 1 = highest value of fundus autofluorescence obtained by investigator 2 minus lowest value of fundus autofluorescence obtained by investigator 1.
