Fluorescein staining
Corneal abrasions are usually detected using a slit-lamp with sodium-fluoroscein dye and blue light, which utilizes the concept of fluorescence to pinpoint corneal staining from a corneal abrasion.
Hansen's disease
Fluorescein staining is the diagnostic procedure used to detect corneal abrasions. In this procedure, a special dye is applied to the eye, which highlights any damaged areas on the surface of the cornea under a cobalt blue light.
Antibiotic ophthalmic drops are typically prescribed for corneal abrasions for about 5 to 7 days, depending on the severity of the abrasion and the clinician's assessment. It's essential to follow the healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration. If symptoms persist or worsen, a follow-up visit is advised to reassess the condition. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
