About Fluorescein Angioscopy

Fluorescein Angioscopy is a specialized, non-invasive diagnostic imaging procedure performed by an ophthalmologist to visualize the blood flow within the retina and choroid of the eye. It involves injecting a safe, fluorescent dye called fluorescein into a vein in the arm. As the dye circulates through the bloodstream, a specialized camera with specific filters captures a rapid sequence of photographs of the retina. This allows the doctor to map the retinal and choroidal vasculature in real-time, identifying areas of abnormal blood flow, leakage, blockages, or new vessel growth. It is a cornerstone procedure for diagnosing and managing serious retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusions, providing critical information that guides treatment decisions.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
