STAIN HELPS

This is a picture of a flipped upper eyelid of a patient who complained of discomfort after something flew into his eye. The eye in this photo actually looks pretty good. The picture below shows what happens when fluorescein stain is put in the eye and a special filter is used to visualize it.




Now you can see there is staining. This is where the outer protective cells of the conjunctiva have been abraded away.
