Using a Type of Blue Dye to Observe Bleb Function During Cataract Surgery

VisionBlue is a staining solution designed to assist in making complete capsulorhexis during cataract surgery. The dye is injected into the anterior chamber via a paracentesis port and stains the anterior lens capsule, assisting in adequate visualization of the anterior lens capsule. This study proposes to explore the use of VisionBlue during cataract surgery as a means to assess functioning of an existing filtering bleb placed during prior trabeculectomy in patients with glaucoma.
