Stains:
- Large Epithelial defects
- devitalized cells and mucin
- (stains cytoplasm & nucleus)
Fluorexon
Stains devitalized cells and mucin to brilliant RED
seen by naked eyes
Rose Bengal Dye
Stains skin of the eyelids
Rose Bengal dye
Stains nucleus more than the cytoplasm
Rose Bengal Dye
vital stain, stain devitalized cells & mucin
Acidic and used as food colorant
simple screening method for detection of vit. A deficiency (xerophthalmia)
LISSAMINE GREEN
protein bound given IV angiography vs. Fluorescein angiography
INDOCYANINE GREEN (ICG) angiography
Angiography – more effective in revealing choroidal neovascular membranes due to larger wavelengths
vs Fluorescein dye angiography
INDOCYANINE GREEN (ICG)
stains disease or dead corneal endothelial cells → intracameral injection
INDOCYANINE GREEN (ICG)
Stain anterior lens capsule in cataract surgeries (phacoemulsification) – using 0.5% intracameral injection
INDOCYANINE GREEN (ICG)
staining internal limiting membrane – using 0.05% to 0.5% for posterior segment surgeries → intravitreal injection
INDOCYANINE GREEN (ICG)
Corneal stromal dystrophy → characterized by deposition of acid muco-polysaccharides in the corneal stroma
stain by:
1% ALCIAN BLUE
Differentiate mucin deposits (stained blue) from diseased cells (unstained)
1% ALCIAN BLUE
- silver protein with antiseptic property
*1%-2% AgNO3 (Crede’s prophylaxis) → ophthalmia neonatorum infected Neisseria gonorrhea passes to infected birth canal
ARGYROL 10% - 20%
excellent indicator of adequacy of preoperative preparation prior to surgical eye scrub
(absence of stain means preparation is complete)
10% - 20% ARGYROL
