I think uveitis is the key word here. ICG is especially good for documenting
the choroidities.......
But we are doing more ICGs in AMD as folks consider reticular pseudo drusen
and changes in the choroidal vascular lobules

You will get wide fluctuations with some retinal specialists that never order
ICG and some that order more than others. It is not universally accepted as
necessary.
My Clinic would do less than 1 in 40 with some retina ordering more than
others. We have 4 booked today which is quite high for us. We often go for days
without one. We have the Spectralis but previously used the Topcon. More ICG
are done now but that may have more to do with a change in Doctors. We have a
newer Uveitis specialist that orders more than most.

Anyone out there have documentation, informal survey, etc re percentage of ICG
procedures more or less
More? Or less? With the advent of Spectralis FA/ICG?
