Abstract | PURPOSE: SETTING: Center for Research on Ocular Therapeutics and Biodevices, Storm Eye Institute, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, USA. METHODS: RESULTS: In all globes, CCC was uneventful using the 3 dyes and with both techniques. With the intracameral subcapsular injection, the dye remained trapped in the subcapsular space in contact with the posterior surface of the anterior capsule, allowing enough time to perform any maneuver. The staining provided by ICG, at the concentration used, was slightly superior to that of the other dyes. Leakage of fluorescein sodium into the vitreous cavity was seen using the Miyake-Apple posterior video/photographic technique. CONCLUSION: Intracameral subcapsular injection of ICG allowed the easiest recognition of the capsular flap by staining the posterior surface of the anterior capsule and without leaking into the vitreous cavity.
