Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are fundus autofluorescence lifetimes increased in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy?
Answer: Fundus Fluorescence lifetimes are significantly increased in NPDR while lens lifetimes are shorter in the patient group. Lifetime changes might be indicative for the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which enables detection of the disease with high sensitivity and specificity possibly bearing diagnostic merit.
Output (English): yes
