Abstract | PURPOSE: To present the current state-of-the-art information regarding the properties, indications, surgical techniques, and toxic effects of current and past applications of vital dyes in chromovitrectomy. DESIGN: Critical analysis and surgical perspective of the literature and recent studies. METHODS: Review, interpretation, and commentary regarding the most relevant experimental as well as clinical studies including the authors' clinical and laboratory research. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Clear-cut safety profiles for the different dyes in chromovitrectomy have not yet been established, and current state-of-the-art staining-assisted procedures should be performed using concentrations and volumes as low as possible.
