Conjunctival impression cytology
R. W. Thatcher, S. Darougar and B. R. Jones
A new technique is presented using impression of the conjunctiva with a
plastic device to study the conjunctival response in various conjunctival
disease states. When used with a rapid acting stain the impression
technique proved to be accurate, reproducible, and nondestructive when
compared to the standard spatula scraping of the conjunctiva using Giemsa
stain.
