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: 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: To compare, for the first time, systematically the toxicity and phototoxicity of dyes
and dye combinations used in vitreoretinal surgery. The dyes were trypan blue, brilliant blue …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of Brilliant Blue G
(BBG) and the staining properties in macular surgery. Methods BBG was applied during …

Background Indocyanine green, infracyanine green, and trypan blue are frequently used as
aids to visualize structures removed during vitreoretinal surgery. But they may have toxic …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the light-induced cytotoxicity of
indocyanine green (ICG) using different light sources commonly used in macular surgery …

purpose. Indocyanine green (ICG) and trypan blue have been advocated as vital stains for
use during macular surgery. The safety of these agents was tested using a cell culture …

Purpose: Intravitreous injection of vital dyes, eg brilliant blue (BBG), promotes better
visualization of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). This paper investigates the staining …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the ability of novel dyes to stain lens capsule (LC), internal limiting
membrane (ILM), epiretinal membrane (ERM), and vitreous. DESIGN: Experimental study in …

Background During vitreoretinal surgery, vital dyes are used to visualize anatomical
structures. Substances with a density higher than water are added to facilitate sedimentation …
