CORNEAL STAINING
If only the superficial epithelial cells
are damaged, the fluorescein
staining will be limited to the area of
damage. If the full thickness of the
epithelium is damaged fluorescein
will seep into the stroma giving a
larger area of staining then the
defect. The borders will not be
distinct since the fluorescein is
slowly diffusing through the stroma.
