I use two just to get it past and away from the teeth quicker and into the
system quicker.
Then a swish with small bit of water.
just my way of doing it.

Lori,
Two straws? We're a one straw office. 😊

There's a great dosing guide for the 10% in Marshall's book - but most
generally my docs have me mix four vials into juice (somewhat disguises the
color & taste) and two straws to really drink down fast.
Most times I'll try taking a base at 10 minutes (some of the young ones have
showing that early), but generally not until after 15 minutes.
Oral FAs are fine for the diabetics/AMD/..., but not for occlusions (no earlies)
disco time!!!

Denice,
Thanks for the cocktail recipe, I'll try it with fireball at my next black
light party. We have been using 4ml of 25% Fluorescein for oral FA on the
Optos. I like the idea of using only 2ml. Any other opinions out there?

I have been using oral FA for years- so many of our patients have impossible

Particularly, with the new cSLO instruments, the oral works particularly well
25% 2cc ( or more, or less per weight of patient) into diet coke ( diabetics)
or root beer ( non diabetics) hides the taste very well
Use a straw- the dye stains the teeth. Better yet, chug it like a shot of
whiskey. Hey, perhaps mixing it with Fireball is the answer!
Wait about 15 minutes ( less if younger, more if older) and you can get very
decent information.

We have a few patients a year that are extremely hard or impossible to stick.
We will get out the vein finder but usually not very helpful. So not to torture
these diabetic patients with more than my limit of sticks oral FA is a great
option. We use the Optos California and get amazing images.

Our department is looking to purchase a vein finder for those seemingly
impossible patients. I can't believe how expensive they are and need to make
sure that they actually work on the difficult patients. Easy patients are easy
and I don't need a $5,000 device for them.. Do these devices work well for the
obese, dialysis patients, severe diabetics etc.
