Why you can trust this page
The description of Fundus Fluorescein Angiography on this page reflects how the service is offered at Neera Eye Centre, Darya Ganj, by the team led by Dr. Neera Agrawal.
Where a recovery time or a fee is not given as a fixed number, that is deliberate. Both depend on your examination, and both are explained before you decide.
This page is written for patients considering the service. It is general information, not a personalised treatment plan.
Service Overview
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography is a specialised camera test of the retina. A fluorescein dye is given in a vein in the arm, then a series of photographs records how the dye fills the retinal vessels. It shows leaks, blockages, and abnormal new vessels that a colour photo or OCT may not fully explain. Retina specialists use it to plan laser, injections, or surgery for diabetic retinopathy, macular disease, and vein occlusions.
What It Covers
Timed photographs of the optic disc, macula, and peripheral retina.
Tracks how dye fills arteries, capillaries, and veins second by second.
Highlights leaking or staining areas that need laser or anti-VEGF.
Shows regions of poor blood flow that may grow abnormal vessels.
Who It Is For
When the doctor needs a leak or ischemia map before laser or injections.
Wet AMD, retinal vein occlusion, and selected inflammatory conditions.
When the clinical exam needs a dye study to confirm the diagnosis.
Cost
The cost of Fundus Fluorescein Angiography at Neera Eye Centre depends on your examination and the plan your eyes actually need. We confirm a written estimate at consultation, before anything is booked.
There is no single figure that fits every eye. The technique, whether one or both eyes are treated, and any other condition found on examination can change the plan.
Your scans, the treatment that suits your eye, and whether extra care is needed for a second condition. The written estimate lists what is included before a date is fixed.
How It Works
Drops widen the pupil so the fundus camera can see the retina clearly.
A small dose of dye is given in the arm; the camera is already in position.
Photographs are taken as the dye fills, leaks, or stains over several minutes.
Before and after
What the first days look like depends on whether this is a scan, medical treatment, or a procedure. At Neera Eye Centre we explain drops, precautions, and the review date before anything is scheduled.
Bring earlier reports, your current glasses, and a list of eye drops or medicines. Tell us about diabetes, allergies, blood thinners, and any recent redness or injury.
Follow the plan you are given — observation, drops, or a procedure date. Avoid rubbing the eye. Call us the same day if pain, redness, or blurred vision gets worse instead of settling.

Timing
Come in when symptoms affect reading, driving, work, or comfort, or when another doctor has asked you to get this checked. You do not need to wait until a problem is severe.
A consultation is how we tell you whether this service is the right next step, or whether observation or a different treatment suits your eyes better.
Why Choose Our FFA Lab
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography is done on-site with OCT and a vitreoretinal clinic in the same building. Your specialist can read the angiogram and discuss the next step — observation, injection, laser, or surgery — without sending you to a separate centre.

I recently underwent Topography-guided PRK (Contoura) surgery here, and my experience was absolutely fantastic. I had a high cylindrical power (-3.25) and was honestly a bit nervous, but Dr. Neera agrawal and the entire staff made me feel completely at ease. They took the time to explain exactly why PRK was the safest and best option for me. The procedure was incredibly smooth, and my recovery is going exactly as they guided. The hospital is exceptionally clean, the staff is very cooperative, and the technology is top-notch. If you are considering getting rid of your glasses, I highly recommend dr. Neera and this hospital. Thank you for giving me a glass-free life!
