Abstract

Fluorescein angiography is one of the oldest forms of imaging in ophthalmology. However, with the advent of optical coherence tomography in everyday clinical practice, indications for performing fluorescein angiography have significantly changed. In the following paper, modern application of fluorescein angiography in diagnostics of retinal diseases has been outlined as well as main recommendations for its performance. It has been compared with optical coherence tomography and OCT angiography. Author presents main directions for development of this technique.
