ERIO GREEN Usage And Synthesis
Veterinary Drugs and Treatments
Lissamine green is used for diagnosis of corneal damage and to quantify tear production. These strips work by staining the cornea blue upon instillation, resulting in a “speckling” of the cornea. This speckling marks any corneal ulcerations as well as dry patches from any muco-deficient or damaged corneal cells. A white or blue light may be used on sthe slit lamp during detection. Lissamine green possesses a therapeutic advantage in that it does not sting the eye like Rose Bengal; however, as interpretation of lissamine green results requires broader experience than that of Rose Bengal and fluorescein, fluorescein staining is considered to be a more reliable indicator of corneal damage.
