Abstract
The structure of the primary ophthalmologist appointment at the outpatient department has changed over the last 10-20 years. Universal computerization, the use of tablets and smartphones, being in air-conditioned rooms are accompanied by an increase in the number of patients with complaints of eye redness, dryness and discomfort. The use of vital dyes for biomicroscopy of the eye anterior segment is a simple and informative method for the early detection of diseases of conjunctiva and cornea. Practical recommendations regarding the use of fluorescein in the daily ophthalmic practice, diagnostic features of obtained patterns in diseases of the eye anterior segment as well features that help to assess the fit of contact lenses are given in the article.
