Drug introduction

Flubadin is a fluorescent dye used in ophthalmic diagnostics. It is dropped into the eye as a solution and then illuminates the eye with blue light, causing the dye to fluoresce green on the surface of the eye. This helps doctors detect eye problems such as corneal abrasions, corneal ulcers, or other ocular surface diseases. Flubadine is usually used under the guidance of an ophthalmologist and is highly safe and effective. Transient visual changes may occur after use, such as mild eye stinging or temporary changes in visual field. Tell your doctor if you are allergic to flubadine or have other eye problems. In Hong Kong, flubadine is a common ophthalmic diagnostic tool, and doctors will decide whether to use this fluorescent dye to help diagnose and treat eye diseases based on their needs.
