25% 2ml gives an easy fast bolus. With the more sensitive SLO’s we can easily get by with 1ml. Can’t believe I have to go back to those large bulky syringes and 10% !!!! Not for two decades have I used this.

I never used the 25%, only 10% in the past 11 years - 2 practises. Maybe because I haven't I don't have anything to compare to, but I have been satisfied with 10% injected in <6 seconds to give a good initial bolus view.

Here is what our pharmacy is telling us. Is this true? No more 25%. We have to de-evolve back to 10%? What are others doing? “It is now true that there is no more fluorescein 25% past what you are getting with your current order It is off the US market, per the FDA because there are no studies supporting its use the way you (and others) use it” Denice Barsness, CRA, COMT, ROUB, CDOS, FOPS Ophthalmic Diagnostic Center CPMC Department of Ophthalmology 2100 Webster Street Suite 212 San Francisco CA 94115 (415) 600-3937 FAX (415) 600-6563
