Lipofuscin pigment overlying choroidal melanoma displays bright hyperautofluorescence, and the brightness correlates directly with the clinically visible orange pigment in pigmented melanoma, and brown pigment in nonpigmented melanoma.

In an analysis of 64 patients with choroidal nevus, minimal intrinsic autofluorescence was noted and the overlying RPE alterations show dramatic autofluorescence ranging from the dark hypoautofluorescence of RPE atrophy to the bright hyperautofluorescence of orange pigment.

Following treatment, choroidal melanomas may show increased autofluorescence, mainly due to an increase in the amount in orange pigment and hyperpigmentation.

An analysis of 51 patients with choroidal melanoma revealed slight intrinsic hyperautofluorescence and the brightness increases with pigmented tumours, larger tumours and those associated with disrupted RPE. Overlying orange pigment shows remarkably bright hyperautofluorescence.
