| Core Tip |
This case series identifies retinal architecture as a key determinant of brilliant blue G (BBG)-related toxicity during internal limiting membrane peeling. Phototoxicity was more severe in macular hole (MH) cases where the exposed retinal pigment epithelium allowed direct BBG-light interaction, leading to foveal damage and poor visual recovery. Non-MH eyes, including epiretinal membrane and vitreomacular traction, retained foveal protection and demonstrated better postoperative vision. The study reinforces careful control of illumination and BBG exposure in MH surgery. |
