Name of procedure that puts dye into your arm

I was supposed to have this at my last exam. I changed docs and I think the new one will be doing this but I would like to know what it's called. Would anyone know? Thank you.

  1. I'm attaching a link to an article by our Editorial Team. This is one tool that specialists use to have a good look at any leaky blood vessels in our eye. The dye helps them to see what's happening. It could possibly be what your doctor is planning. https://maculardegeneration.net/fluorescein-angiography. Have you already been diagnosed with macular degeneration? Wendy, Patient Leader.

    1. Thanks so much. Yes recently dry turned to wet. Ugh!.Diagnosed in 2017 dry both. Dec 2022 Got wet dx right eye. I'll check the article. TX again.
