Seidel test
Purposeassess aqueous humor leakage from anterior chamber

The Seidel test is used to assess the presence of aqueous humor leakage from anterior chamber of the eye.[1] Leakage may occur due to many corneal or scleral disorders, including corneal post-trauma, post-surgical leak, corneal perforation and corneal degeneration.[1] Initially the test was used to detect aqueous humor leakage in postoperative patients, later it expanded to detect other causes or anterior chamber leakage.[1]
