Fluorescein can be used in diagnostic examinations including Goldmann tonometry and in the fitting of hard contact lenses
Avoid In:
N/A
Contraindication Notes:
Acute necrotising pancreatitis (oral fluorescein dilaurate).
Fluorescein sodium responds to electromagnetic radiation and light between the wavelengths of 465- 490 nm and fluoresces, i.e., emits light at wavelengths of 520-530 nm. Thus, the hydrocarbon is excited by blue light and emits light that appears yellowish-green. Following intravenous injection of fluorescein sodium in an aqueous solution, the unbound fraction of the fluorescein can be excited with a blue light flash from a fundus camera as it circulates through the ocular vasculature, and the yellowish green fluorescence of the dye is captured by the camera. In the fundus, the fluorescence of the dye demarcates the retinal and/or choroidal vasculature under observation, distinguishing it from adjacent areas/structures.
None known
Nausea and vomiting (IV); extravasation is painful; hypersensitivity reactions; transient yellow coloration of skin and urine; staining of the skin, clothing and soft contact lenses.
Safety for use in pregnancy and lactation has not been established, therefore use only when considered essential by the physician
Special care should be taken to avoid microbial contamination. Pseudomonas aeruginosa grows well in fluorescein solutions, therefore, a single dose solution is preferred.
