چکیده

Report of a complication related to the use of 0.1% trypan blue during capsular staining of the anterior crystalline lens capsule in an extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation. The capsular dye was injected using an air-bubble technique, inadvertently, it was done using high pressure dispersing the dye through the zonules leading to a complete lost of red reflex, the following steps of the procedure becoming more difficult after the cataract extraction and causing a temporary disturbance of visual acuity in the postoperative period. In order to avoid this complication, the authors also describe the use of "Modified air-bubble technique" where dispersive viscoelastic is placed into the iridolenticular space 360 degrees to create a protection barrier.

Cystoid macular oedema with trypan blue use.

We present a large comparative series of trypan blue use in cataract surgery. This series of trypan blue used in all eyes regardless of cataract severity may be unique. We found an apparent increased rate of cystoid macular oedema (CMO) associated with trypan blue use. Melles et al’s report on the use of trypan blue in cataract extraction in 1999 combined with Apple et al’s series on dye enhanc...

Crystalline lens capsule staining with trypan blue.

A 1-step method for staining the anterior lens capsule with trypan blue is described. The dye is instilled via a paracentesis port at the start of cataract extraction. As aqueous humor is allowed to exit the anterior chamber (AC), which consequently shallows, the resulting pupil block confines the dye to the AC. An ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) is used to flush dye-stained aqueous from ...
