Purpose To examine the viability and differentiation of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells
after exposure to the vital dye Acid Violet-17 (AV-17). Methods Bovine RPE cells were …

Purpose: To investigate the biocompatibility of methyl blue and aniline blue as vital dyes for
vitreoretinal surgery in an in vivo rat model and to evaluate the effect of these dyes on retinal …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the biocompatibility of aniline and
methyl blue in a well-established cell culture model and assess the staining properties of …

Purpose The primary objective was to investigate the retinal biocompatibility of acid violet
(AV) as a vital dye for chromovitrectomy. The secondary objective was to evaluate the …

Purpose: To investigate the retinal biocompatibility of six novel vital dyes for
chromovitrectomy. Methods: An amount of 0.05 mL of 0.5% and 0.05% light green (LG), fast …

Purpose An ideal dye for intraocular use should effectively stain the target tissue while being
easy to apply and remove. Additionally, it should not have any adverse effects resulting from …
