title: [Chemical and spectroscopic aspects of the application of dyes in vitreoretinal surgery].
abstract: The advantages of the use of optical contrast agents in surgery, such as vitreoretinal microsurgery, are presented. Requirements concerning these materials and the potentials and limitations of their application are discussed on the basis of their coloristic properties. Applications of fluorescent dyes are examined.
