- Description
- This video shows a new dye for vitreoretinal surgery comprised of soluble lutein/zeaxanthin 1% and brilliant blue 0.025 %. The green dye was deposited on the posterior pole; vigorous dye flushing into the vitreous cavity was unnecessary. The dye indirectly shows the posterior hyaloid by deposition of the golden lutein crystals. The ILM stained greenish-blue; No evidence of toxicity was observed.
