Fluorescein Test in Ophthalmology

The fluorescein test is one of the most common methods for diagnosing eye diseases. It is used to detect surface defects of the cornea and conjunctiva and can identify various eye diseases such as keratoconus, keratitis, conjunctivitis and others.

The fluorescein test is carried out as follows: the patient is injected with a fluorescein solution into the conjunctival sac. The doctor then examines the patient's eyeball for fluorescent spots, which may indicate the presence of various eye diseases.

One of the most common methods of using fluoresceinogram is the tubular test. In this case, the doctor injects a fluorescein solution through a special channel in the eyeball to check the condition of the channel and identify possible problems.

The fluorescence method is an effective and safe way to diagnose eye diseases, which can help the doctor determine the cause of the disease and prescribe appropriate treatment.

**Fluorescein test** is a special method for studying ocular structures, which consists of conducting a contact test with a slit lamp and is aimed at establishing the presence of one of the pathological conditions of the visual organ. This method became widespread precisely in ophthalmological practice, although it was originally developed to identify and assess the intensity of the development of diabetes mellitus in children. The fluorescein test can obtain positive results in the presence of various diseases of the visual apparatus, so its use is necessary for the final diagnosis of the state of diagnostic attention.

The use of fluoroscopic testing is widespread in the following areas of ophthalmology:

**General provisions.** The trial method makes it possible to clarify some pathological conditions of the eye structures, manifested by changes in the fluorescence of the tissues of the eyeball. This examination method is absolutely painless, as it eliminates the need for surgical intervention. Thanks to this property, the examination can be carried out many times and repeated many times. The method is based on the use of a special apparatus - the Zenker slit lamp, which allows
