FLUORESCEIN STAINING
Fluorescein is a water soluble stain
that will stain the tear film and any
disruption of the ocular surface. It will
show any breaks in the epithelium and
be absorbed by cells which have
damaged membranes. Using just the
normal white light of the slit lamp will
show areas of staining.
