[Vital staining of the conjunctiva for prevention of epithelial implantation cysts].
Selective vital staining with 1% toluidine blue makes short-term intraoperative differentiation of the conjunctiva from Tenon's capsule possible. It is used with advantage in operations where the anatomical situation is unclear to avoid displacement of conjunctival epithelium into deeper tissues and subsequent growth of cysts. Examples of its application are reoperations with excessive scars after squint or detachment surgery, wound dehiscence after enucleations, lacerated wounds after accidents, and as an aid for beginners in ophthalmic surgery.
