Fluorescein angiography is used by physicians specializing in the treatment of eye diseases (ophthalmologists) to evaluate the vasculature of the retina, choroid, optic disc, and iris. [3] Among the common groups of ophthalmologic disease, fluorescein angiography can detect diabetic retinopathy ( neovascularization ), vein occlusions, retinal ...

The retinal circulation undergoes a series of pathophysiological changes in response to elevated blood pressure. [59] In the initial, vasoconstrictive stage, there is vasospasm and an increase in retinal arteriolar tone owing to local autoregulatory mechanisms. This stage is seen clinically as a generalized narrowing of the retinal arterioles.
