Diabetic retinopathy - ocular complications of diabetes mellitus

Figure 9 Fluorescein angiogram of a 49-year-old female patient. A: Fluorescein angiogram of the right eye 50 s after intravenous injection of fluorescein dye. Here, leaking micro-aneurysms in the macula can be seen; B: Fluorescein angiogram of the left eye 25 s after intravenous injection of fluorescein dye. Leakage from neovascular blood vessels causes spots of increased fluorescence at the optic disk and temporal to the fovea; C: Fluorescein angiogram of the temporal part of the left eye 30 s after intravenous injection of fluorescein dye. Areas of retinal non-perfusion can be seen as reason for neovascularization.
