INDICATIONS
• Used as a capsule staining agent in cataract surgery
CONTRAINDICATION
AUROBLUE is contraindicated when a non hydrated (Dry state) hydrophilic acrylic
Intraocular lens (IOL) is planned to implant into eye, because the dye may be absorbed by
the IOL and get stained.
SUPPLY
Available in sterile 1ml vial with pouch in pack of five.
TECHNIQUE
Before using AUROBLUE the first step is to inject air into the anterior chamber using a 26 gauge
needle in the area where the second site is made. This prevents dilution of the dye. Then
AUROBLUE is injected into the anterior chamber using a tuberculin syringe between the air bubble
and the lens capsule. Use the bevel down of the needle and inject AUROBLUE in a drop form,
so that the whole capsule gets stained. If some area is left unstained, inject one more drop in that
area till it gets stained. It is allowed for a minute to achieve complete staining of the anterior capsule.
After staining viscoelastic solution is injected into the anterior chamber. This will distend the eye
so that when you make a clear corneal incision, the eye will be tense and one can make a good
valve. Now use a straight rod to stabilise the eye with the left hand and with the right hand
make a clear corneal incision or scleral incision. Inject viscoelastic solution inside the eye to
remove the air bubbles and the AUROBLUE. Then capsulorhexis can be done with a needle or
with a forceps. One can see the contrast between the capsule, which has been stained and
the cortex,which is not stained. The capsulorhexis can be continued and completed.
