How It Feels
When fluorescein dye is injected into
your arm, you may notice a metallic taste in your mouth, mild nausea, and a
brief sensation of warmth.
After the test, your skin, the whites
of your eyes, and your urine may be bright yellow or orange, but these effects
wear off in 24 to 48 hours.
Because of the dilating eyedrops,
your vision may be blurred, and your eyes may be sensitive to light for up to
12 hours. Avoid bright light and sunshine. Wear dark glasses when you go
outside.
