Fluorescent angiography of the human fundus oculi provides valuable information on the retinal circulation and events in the vascular beds of the choroid and optic nerve head. Pre‐capillary arterioles can be delineated consistently by the intravenous injection of 5% sodium fluorescein, while good capillary filling can be shown frequently. The safety, speed and ease of this investigation make it one of the most promising of the angiographic techniques available for clinical research. Its applicability extends from regional ocular diseases to a broad range of general medical problems.
