Which of the following are described ophthalmic uses for fluorescein dye? Select ALL CORRECT statements. a) Fluorescein can be used to assess the quality of the tear film by flooding the tears with fluorescein, blinking the eyelids and timing how long it takes for a dry spot to appear in the green tear film.
