A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Ophthalmic diagnostic agents are given intravenously to perform diagnostic fluorescein angiography or angioscopy of the retina and iris vasculature. A few preparations also contain a local anesthetic to reduce pain in the nerves of the eyes.
