Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 Alcaine is correct per Drake & Drake. Also per D & D, it would be fluorescein. Margaret >>> 06/04/01 11:10PM >>> Hi, Can someone help with the correct spellings of Alcaine and flourecin? Extraocular movements are intact. Pupils are equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. The left eye was anesthetized with 2 drops of " Alcaine " . The eye was explored both visually and with a sterile swab. No foreign bodies are appreciated. There is no mass or cystic lesion appreciated in the left upper eyelid. Mild edema is present. No corneal abrasions are seen under " fluorescin " stain.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Karla, I'm glad you aren't asking about any of the rest of the exam, because the rest of it doesn't make much sense to me, but then I don't do eyes that much. You are looking for homonymous hemianopsia. Margaret >>> 06/05/01 10:35PM >>> Doc dictates: Sixty-nine-year-old xxx in today, lipid dye red. Typical SCH. No other problems. Right eye not much help.

The doc states 500 cc in the beginning and 500 cc at the end of the sentence??? Following this, the patient had a 500 cc lens irrigation with lactated ringers 500 cc. >> I suppose it does seem redundant to say it the second time, but I guess he's just clarifying.
