TyBlue Eye Drops

Aid in ophthalmic surgery by staining the anterior capsule of the lens.

Trypan blue is packaged in a 2.25 mL syringe to which a blunt cannula has to be attached. After opening the eye, an air bubble is injected into the anterior chamber of the eye in order to minimize dilution of (trypan blue) by the aqueous. (trypan blue) is carefully applied onto the anterior lens capsule using a blunt cannula. Sufficient staining is achieved as soon as the dye has contacted the capsule. The anterior chamber is then irrigated with balanced salt solution to remove all excess dye. An anterior capsulotomy can then be performed.

(Trypan blue) is contraindicated when a non-hydrated (dry state), hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) is planned to be inserted into the eye because the dye may be absorbed by the IOL and stain the IOL.

General: It is recommended that after injection all excess (trypan blue) be immediately removed from the eye by thorough irrigation of the anterior chamber. Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility
