Abstract :

Recently, dye enhancement for cataract surgery has been advocated in cases in which the red fundus reflex is absent because of a white cataract. Use of capsule dyes such as trypan blue and indocyanine green (ICG) facilitates safe performance of continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC), a critical step in phacoemulsification. This article aims to learn further about the use of trypan blue as adjuncts for performing CCC, including indication, pharmacology, and various techniques in using trypan blue to stain the anterior capsule.
