Corneal Laceration Seidel Positive (Photo)

Last updated August 29, 2007

This photo is of a corneal laceration. This particular laceration was all the way through the cornea such that the aqueous was slowly leaking. The Seidel test (rubbing a fleuroscein strip across the wound) was positive.

If you haven’t seen an active leaking cornea, then you may want to check our our Seidel video … this photo will make more sense in moving pictures.
