A case of presumed active atypical acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) on color fundus photography (CFP), short-wavelength blue-light autofluorescence (swBAF, 450 nm), long-wavelength blue-light autofluorescence (lwBAF, 488 nm), green-light autofluorescence (GAF, 518 nm), and infrared-light autofluorescence (IRAF, 787 nm). While it is difficult to detect lesions on CFP, they can easily be visualized on different FAF modalities as a hyperautofluorescent pattern expanding from the papilla on swBAF, lwBAF, and GAF, and as a hypoautofluorescent area on IRAF.
