Fluorescein is a diagnostic dye used primarily in ophthalmology and optometry to diagnose and evaluate various eye conditions. It is administered topically as eye drops or intravenously. Fluorescein stains the cornea and highlights areas of damage or abnormalities, allowing visualization of blood vessels and leakage, as well as assessment of tear flow. It belongs to the class of xanthenes and functions as a fluorescent tracer.
Used for diagnosing and evaluating eye conditions such as corneal abrasions, ulcers, and retinal diseases.
