Abstract


• The use of a blue or green dye provides the best color contrast against the orange-red color of the fundus background.
• Many vital dyes have been tested and several commercialized (outside of the United States).
• Trypan blue is a good choice when removing ERM during vitrectomy.
• For staining the ILM during macular hole surgery, BBG is an effective choice.
