ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for directly imaging fluorophores in tissue or fluid. The apparatus includes a fluorescence exciter light source for generating fluorescence exciter light, a collimater for collimating and directing the light onto the material, and a filter between the material and a camera or the examiner's eye for passing selected wavelengths of light to the camera or to the examiner's eye. The apparatus is useful for detecting leakage in vascular eye tissue, particularly leakage from iris capillaries into surrounding tissues or into the anterior chamber of the eye.
