B&L publishes 'truth about corneal staining'

Bausch & Lomb has launched a corneal health educational website www.truthaboutstaininggrid.com which reviews the science behind grading and evaluation.

Corneal staining and related eye health evaluation continue to be an industry-wide discussion point. In recent months, the evaluation criteria, clinical relevance and causes of staining have been hotly debated. According to B&L, with so many conflicting views there is an unmet educational need for 'clear scientific facts' and guidance on evaluating corneal staining.

The website explores the nature of corneal staining, clinical relevance, classification methods and deeper evaluation techniques. It also provides a valuable resource of publications which can be freely downloaded. Another section invites comments on corneal staining and feedback on the website.
