Angiography
What Is Angiography?
Angiography is a diagnostic exam where a contrast medium is injected through the vein and pictures are taken of the retina and its vasculature. Two contrasting mediums are routinely used: sodium fluorescein or green indocyanine.
Diagnostic Eye Tests
It is important to allow enough time in your schedule for a thorough eye examination. Typically, these can take 1 to 2 hours but may be longer if you require special testing. In all cases, please refer to our Clinic Guidelines
