Ak-Fluor (fluorescein) is used in several diagnostic tests that are performed to find problems in the eye. Here's what to expect: Generally, Ak-Fluor will be injected into a vein in your arm and will quickly travel through your veins into your eye. Your doctor will then use a special camera to see the dye in your eye's capillaries and will be able to tell whether the blood flow has been interrupted, which may suggest a problem.

If other symptoms develop, talk to your doctor right away.
