Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your patient is having blood clot in the retina and require fundus fluorescein angiogram.
FFA needs to be done under supervision of a physician or a anaesthetist in people with known heart problem. In people with known kidney problem, the kidney function test needs to be done and if they are normal then he can undergo the test.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
