Seidel's test using 10% fluorescein

Can J Ophthalmol. 1979 Oct;14(4):253-6.

Abstract

A 10% solution of fluorescein applied topically shows a leak from the anterior chamber better than a 2% solution. Fluorescein changes color because it is diluted by the leaking aqueous and not because its pH is changed.
