Uses
This Iodine free derivative of Indocyanine Green is used in patients allergic to iodine. It is primarily used in ophthalmology, particularly for enhancing visualization during eye surgery. Its uses include –
- Retinal Surgery: It aids in the visualization of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina. This is crucial in surgeries for treating macular holes, epiretinal membranes, and other vitreoretinal disorders. Iodine free Indocyanine green, diluted in 5% glucose, results in an iso-osmolar solution, which is safer for the retina.
- Choroidal Imaging: In some instances, it can be used in angiography to visualize the choroidal blood vessels.
- Cataract Surgery: It may assist in highlighting the anterior capsule of the lens during cataract surgery.
