Dye decreases challenges of sutureless corneal transplant
Instilling a drop of indocyanine green (ICG) or trypan blue 0.1%, the latter of which is newly approved by the FDA, on the donor corneal stroma makes visualization and positioning of the tissue markedly easier. This in turn facilitates proper centration, augments visualization of the host-donor interface, and facilitates decreasing or elimination of any interface air bubbles, and thus, lowers the need for a second surgery to adjust the position of the grafted tissue or reattachment of a detached disc.
