Popis: Fluorescent diagnostics examinations were undertaken by the authors in different-age 410 children. The peroral fluorescent angiography (FAG) was used to examine 20% of cases, and the intravenous FAG was applied to 80% of cases. We offered the differential approach to dosing the solution, while making the peroral FAG examinations, which reduces the frequency rate of unfavorable reactions. The dosage ranged from 20 to 25 mg/kg with regard for purposes of examinations. The use of fluorescein did not cause any serious complications; nausea and a short faintness state were registered only in 10% of children. An examination of angiography images demonstrated that the phases of tinting of healthy tissue were identical to those tinted at the intravenous FAG. The below peculiarities of the child eye fundus were established: a weaker, as compared to the adults, pigmentation of the eye fundus, an insufficient differentiation of the macular zone and an immature peripheral retina in children during the neonatal period. Indications for FAG at congenital and acquired eye pathologies are specified.
