Eye Photography: Examples of Eye Imaging
UW Health's eye care services (ophthalmology) uses ophthalmic photography to study the eye and diagnose potential problems with vision. Ophthalmic (or eye) photography is a specialized branch of medical photography that uses specific imaging equipment to photograph, scan or otherwise image the eye.
The images below are examples of eye imaging.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), wet form, with sub-retinal hemorrhage |
Fluorescein angiogram of the same eye, showing leakage of fluid in the central macula, and blocked fluorescence due to the hemorrhage |

Branch retinal vein occlusion |
Fluorescein angiogram of the same eye, showing damage caused by the branch retinal vein occlusion |

Conjunctival nevus ("freckle") |
Iris neovascularization at the pupillary margin (look for tiny blood vessels) |
