Q

Characteristics of fluorescein

A
  • Water soluble
  • Weakly acidic anion in alkaline solution such as
    tears
  • Maximum fluorescence at pH 8
  • Commonly available as sodium salt (NaFL)
  • Metabolised by liver
  • Eliminated in urine
  • Absorption spectrum in blood: 465 nm
  • Absorption spectrum on ocular surface: 450-493 nm (blue)
    produced through a Cobalt blue slit lamp filter
  • Emission 520 nm (yellow-green) isolated with a Kodak
    Wratten barrier filter
  • Absorption/emission spectra are dependent on the absorption spectrum, pH and concentration of the fluor; fluorescence is best at [0.1%] vs negligible at [2%]; avoid excess application of fluorescein

Q

How does fluorescein help with dry eye assesment

A

Fluorescein pools in gaps created on the ocular surface by lost
epithelial cells following exposure-mediated damage to tight-junctions

Q

Jones I Test: Diagnosis of Tear Duct Obstruction

A
  • Jones I: fluorescein is applied to ocular surface; an anesthetized cotton-tipped swab is inserted into the ipsilateral nostril for 5 min, then evaluated for staining

Q

Adverse effects of topical fluorescein

A
  • Common
    • Sting & irritation
    • Redness
    • Dermatitis
  • Rare
    • Corneal hypersensitivity
    • Corneal epithelial keratopathy
21
Q

Adverse effects of IV fluorescein

A
  • Common
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Headache
    • Tissue necrosis
    • Cutaneous reaction
  • Rare
    • Allergy including laryngeal edema
    • Cardiac arrest
    • Vagal reaction: convulsions
    • Syncope
22
Q

Contraindications of IV fluorescein

A
  • Absolute
    • History of adverse reaction to fluorescein angiography
  • Relative
    • Asthma
    • Hay fever
    • Renal failure
    • Hepatic failure
    • Pregnancy (esp. 1st trimester)

Elimination by liver and kidneys is normally complete within 24-48h

23
Q

Characteristics of rose bengal

A
  • Optimal for evaluation of conjunctiva > cornea
  • Stains mucus strands & filaments
  • An intact mucin layer blocks Rose Bengal staining of ocular surface
  • Staining of devitalized cornea and conjunctival cells is seen in regions with compromised mucin production and tear film instability
  • Absorption 545-490 nm; viewed under white light; not fluorescent
  • Viewed under white light or appears dark with green light
  • Photo-reactive
  • Antiviral properties reported for HSV-1: culture before application
  • Masked by fluorescein; best performed before applying NaFL
