Abstract

Following its implementation in the 1960s, fluorescein angiography (FA) has become a widely used and reliable tool in the diagnosis of retinal and choroidal disorders. FA is an imaging modality utilized to examine the circulation of the retina and choroid. Here, we describe the process of obtaining fundus images with sodium fluorescein dye as a contrast agent. Using this methodology, ophthalmologists may examine the retinal and choroidal vasculature to diagnose a wide scope of retinal and choroidal diseases.
