ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting blood flow in the retina and choroid uses a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and a lipophilic fluorescent dye contained in carrier. The fluorescent dye in one embodiment is able to fluoresce in the visible and near infrared spectral range. The carrier can alternatively contain dye that fluoresces in the visible range and a dye that fluoresces in the infrared spectral range. The fluorescent dye enables the carrier to be visualized in the retina and the choroid.
