A diagnostic test that uses a dye to analyze circulation in the eye. After eye drops that dilate the pupil are administered to the person being tested, pictures of the interior of the eye are taken with a special camera. Next, fluorescein dye is injected into a vein in the arm or hand, and more photographs are taken.
