RETINA
One of the most common retinal conditions is diabetic retinopathy, which can cause vision loss and blindness in diabetic patients.
HOW ARE RETINAL DISEASES DIAGNOSED?
Fluorescein Angiography:
Once the pupils are dilated, a dye or contrast fluid is injected into a vein in the arm. Images are then taken to locate obstructions, tears or leaks.

Optic Nerve or Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
The OCT is an imaging method to measure the thickness of the retina and optic nerve. It helps to determine how much fluid (if any) has leaked into the retina. The OCT is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments.
