Combined Brilliant and Trypan Blue As Vital Dyes for Chromovitrectomy

Journal of Ophthalmic and Vision Research (JOVR) / Apr–Jun 2024, Volume 19, Issue 2 / Pages 264–266

Abstract

Brilliant blue 0.05% and trypan blue 0.1% were mixed in a proportion of 1:1 in a 1-mL syringe. This combination produced a waterfall effect with the fast sinking of the dye to the posterior pole and little diffusion through the vitreous cavity. Therefore, it can effectively stain the internal limiting membrane and the epiretinal membrane with a good contrast during surgeries for a macular hole, myopic foveoschisis, and macular pucker.
