Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA)
Fluorescein Angiography :
What is fluorescein angiography?
Fluorescein angiography is a test that helps doctors examine the blood vessels in your retina, the part of your eye that sends visual information to your brain. This test is commonly used to diagnose or track conditions that affect the health of your retina.
During the procedure, your healthcare provider will apply eye drops to dilate your pupils, making it easier to see inside your eye. They will then inject a special dye called fluorescein into a vein in your arm. As the dye travels through your bloodstream, it highlights the blood vessels in your retina. This makes it possible for your provider to get a clear view of your eye’s blood vessels, helping them detect any issues that could affect your vision.
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) Retina Diagnostics
Dr. Jay Trivedi at Netralayam Eye Hospital in Mehsana provides expert eye care, including Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA). FFA is a highly effective diagnostic procedure where a special fluorescent dye is injected into your bloodstream, allowing detailed imaging of the blood vessels in your eye. Using a specialized camera, this technique captures a series of images as the dye moves through the vessels, offering valuable insights into the health of your retina and choroid. FFA is an essential tool for diagnosing and managing a variety of eye conditions, helping doctors monitor the eye’s vascular health for better vision outcomes.
