An understanding of the basic terminology utilized in the clinical interpretation of retinal fluorescein angiography, the major indications for fluorescein angiography, contraindications, adverse reactions and how to manage them, discuss the fluorescein angiography technique, and discuss the Medicolegal implications of fluorescein angiography. The AAO video entitled Fluorescein Angiography will be shown. The proper photographic sequencing and phases, and clinical applications for the test will be discussed. (Please Note: The hands-on workshop will mock a fluorescein angiography session and will be scheduled in the last hour of the course.
