The test has some side effects. Please note these are NOT allergies:
It is also possible have an allergic reaction to the dye:
Allergic reactions can occur up to 6 hours after the dye is administered. If you experience itch, wheeze, or feel unwell after the test, call an ambulance on 000 and tell them you are having an allergic reaction after intravenous fluorescein.
If you display any allergic symptoms while you are in our rooms, we will provide supportive treatment as necessary while waiting for an ambulance to transport you to hospital for observation or treatment.
