ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the aim and the background of the ocular angiography to interpret fundus fluorescein angiograms. It uses the determined information to diagnose and devise treatment plans. The chapter provides information on specific pearl. It presents patterns of hyperfluorescence, hypofluorescence, and fluorescence. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) is a standard investigative procedure in the medical retina clinic. It is used extensively in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment planning of diabetic eye disease, choroidal neovascular disease, retinal vascular disease, neoplastic disease, and retinal and macular dystrophies. A set of FFA images will typically start with colour and red-free images of the fundus (taken prior to the injection of dye). Subsequent images represent various stages of dye penetration through the vascular cycle. FFA is considered an investigative procedure rather than an examination, and should not be interpreted in isolation from either a clinical assessment or colour photograph of the fundus.
