Healon Yellow as a surgical tool in maneuvering intraocular tissues

S Stenkula et al. Ophthalmic Surg. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

Tinted sodium hyaluronate (Healon Yellow) was used during posterior segment surgery mainly for the dissection of epiretinal membranes in cases of proliferative diabetic retinopathy and macular pucker. The yellow color facilitated injecting the viscoelastic substance under the membranes and simplified its removal at the end of surgery.
