• Angiographic imaging of the posterior segment is essential in the appraisal of intraocularinflammation.

• Fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyaninegreen angiography (ICGA) are well established techniques that are widely used in the clinic and in studies of various intraocularinflammatory diseases.

• They are useful in assessing the activity of the inflammatory process, in identifying the focus, extent, and complications of inflammation, in elucidating the cause(s) of visual loss, and in monitoring response to treatment.
