Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparisons of cone electroretinograms after indocyanine green-, brilliant blue G-, or triamcinolone acetonide-assisted macular hole surgery.
To compare the function of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) using the photopic negative response (PhNR) in patients who had undergone indocyaine green (ICG)-assisted, brilliant blue G (BBG)-assisted, or triamcinolone acetonide (TA)-assisted internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during macular hole (MH) surgery. ⋯ The results indicate that the PhNR may detect subclinical impairments of RGCs caused by the possible toxic effect of ICG. This finding adds to the data that BBG and TA may be safer than ICG for use during MH surgery.
