An ultrasound of your eye may sound like science fiction but it's used in retina specialists' offices coast to coast.

Known as ophthalmic ultrasound or eye ultrasound, this imaging technology uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the structures inside the eye. During the non-invasive test, a probe is placed on the eye or eyelid and the patient may be asked to move their eye in different directions. Ophthalmic ultrasound is useful in diagnosing and monitoring various eye conditions, including retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, tumors, and other abnormalities.

Is that the surface of the moon? No! It's advanced imaging used by retina specialists.

Fluorescein Angiography/Indocyanine Angiography (FA/ICG) is a diagnostic technique that uses a dye injected into the bloodstream and a highly specialized camera to record blood flow within the retina and the rest of the eye. After a patient’s eyes are dilated, a small amount of dye is injected in the arm or hand. The patient is positioned in front of a specialized camera and looks at a series of bright lights while a series of pictures are taken which shows the dye as it moves through the blood vessels in the retina.
