Biocompatibility of dyes for vitreoretinal surgery

Abstract: For the last 8 years vital dyes have been used to visualize preretinal semitransparent structures in the eye during vitroretinal surgery. However, indocyanine green (ICG), which was the first commonly used dye, proved to be partly toxic to retinal cells and the retinal pigment epithelium in various in vitro and in vivo studies. Therefore, an intensive search for new and safer dyes was started. At present three dyes, trypan blue, patent blue and brilliant blue are predominantly used for vitreoretinal surgery, i… Show more

“…ICG has been chosen because of its biocompatibility, which has already favoured its exploitation in several biomedical applications [14,15]. The dye is typically applied in the form of an aqueous concentrated solution (10 % w/v) of commercially available ICG for biomedical applications (e.g., IC-GREEN Akorn, Buffalo Grove, IL or ICG-Pulsion Medical Systems AG, Germany).…”

“…Die Färbung mit dem Farbstoff Indocyaningrün (ICG) ermöglichte eine zuverlässige und intensive Färbung [2,3]. Allerdings ist die Anwendung umstritten und es gab in den letzten Jahren eine kontroverse Debatte über eine mögliche retinale Toxizität [14,21]. Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass in einigen Fällen Nebenwirkungen, wie segmentale Gesichtsfeldausfälle oder eine partielle Optikusatrophie, auftraten [8, 11 -13, 22, 25].…”

“…Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass in einigen Fällen Nebenwirkungen, wie segmentale Gesichtsfeldausfälle oder eine partielle Optikusatrophie, auftraten [8, 11 -13, 22, 25]. Deshalb wurden alternative Farbstoffe für die Makulachirurgie entwickelt und erprobt [12,13,16,17,21]. Hierbei gibt es gute Erfahrungen mit Trypanblau in einer Konzentration von 0,15 % (Membrane blue, DORC) für vitreoretinale Eingriffe [13,16,17,21].…”
