Fluorescein angiography
Alternate Names : Retinal photography, Eye angiography
Risks
There is a slight chance of infection any time the skin is broken. Rarely, a person is hypersensitive to the dye and may experience: - Dizziness or faintness
- Dry mouth or increased salivation
- Hives
- Increased heart rate
- Metallic taste in mouth
- Nausea and vomiting
- Sneezing
Serious allergic reactions are rare. Your urine will be darker, and possibly orange in color, for a day or two after the test.
Special Considerations
People with cataracts will have less accurate test results.
