Q

T/F: fluorescein stain stains the epithelium of the cornea

A

False

Fluorescein is a water-soluble dye; owing to its lipid insolubility, it does not penetrate intact corneal epithelium. Epithelial erosions or ulcers, which expose the hydrophilic stroma, allow penetration and retention of the dye.
