fluorescein angiography - (pronounced) (ground-EH-seen an-jee-AH-gruh-fee) A procedure that uses a special dye and camera to look at the blood vessels at the back of the eye . A yellow dye called fluorescein is injected into a vein and travels throughout the body, including the blood vessels in the eye. The dye makes the blood vessels glow when a picture is taken with a special camera. Fluorescein angiography can be used to check for damaged, blocked, or leaking blood vessels in the eye, swelling of the retina, and other eye problems, including macular degeneration and a type of eye cancer called intraocular melanoma. It can also be used to see how well certain eye treatments are working
