An eye examination process includes instilling a neutral pH sulforhodamine B fluorescent dye which is excitable by green light and which fluoresces with orange light in the eye of a patient. The eye is then illuminated with green light and the eye is observed, preferably through a biomicroscope, through a filter which will pass orange light and which will not transmit the wavelength of the illuminating light. This process allows observation of both the eye's tear film and devitalized epithelial cells in the eye.
