Fluorescein Angiography for Diagnosis of Retinal Diseases
At Chugh Eye Surgery Centre, we offer Fluorescein Angiography (FA), a specialized imaging technique used to examine the circulation of the retina and choroid. It helps in diagnosing and managing various retinal conditions accurately and effectively.
What is Fluorescein Angiography?
Fluorescein Angiography involves injecting a fluorescent dye into a vein in your arm. As the dye travels through the blood vessels in your eye, a special camera captures detailed images. These images help in identifying any blockages, leakages, or abnormal blood vessels in the retina and choroid.
When is Fluorescein Angiography Needed?
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
- Retinal Vein Occlusions
- Macular Edema
