Fluorescein angiography of the heavily pigmented iris and new dyes for iris angiography.

An inexpensive adapter mounted in front of the objective lens of a fundus camera permits routine fluorescein angiography of the heavily pigmented iris. Angiograms of these patients whose iris pigment was dense enough that standard methods of iris angiography would disclose little or no information were performed with the use of the adapter. For use in the study of the iris vasculature in the research laboratory, three dyes with spectral characteristics different from those of fluorescein allow angiography of the iris at different wavelengths.
