A Corneal Abrasion is Usually Diagnosed By

Question

A corneal abrasion is usually diagnosed by:
A) Physical examination.
B) Rinne test.
C) Fluorescein stain.
D) Culture.

Accepted Answer

A fluorescein stain is a commonly used diagnostic tool to identify corneal abrasions due to its ability to highlight any disruptions or erosions in the cornea. Physical examination may also be used, but it may not be as effective in identifying small abrasions. The Rinne test is not relevant to diagnosing a corneal abrasion, and a culture may be used if there is suspicion of infection but is not typically used for diagnosis.
