Testing dyes to help surgeons see and remove a thin eye membrane

This trial is testing different colored dyes — specifically Brilliant Blue G and Indocyanine Green — used during eye surgery to help surgeons better see and remove a very thin, transparent membrane from the back of your eye. This membrane can sometimes stick to your retina and cause blurred central vision. The study is trying to figure out which dye works best and is safest for this delicate surgery.

When a thin membrane called the inner limiting membrane sticks to the retina, it can cause blurred vision and sometimes lead to serious problems like holes in the central part of the eye. Surgeons need to carefully remove this membrane during surgery, but because it's so thin and transparent, it's hard to see. This trial exists to find the safest and most effective dye to help surgeons see and grasp the membrane during the operation.
