To evaluate the safety of different concentrations of methyl violet dye
on cornea and trabecular meshwork of rabbit's eye. Also, to test the capacity
of the non-toxic concentration to stain the anterior lens capsule.
The work in this study was divided into 3 parts. The first part was to
study the effect of different concentrations (1% to 0.1%) of methyl violet
stain on the cornea and trabecular meshwork of rabbit's eye. The eyes
were examined after 1 week using light microscopy (LM) and transmission
electron microscopy ITEM). The second part was to assess the microbiological
action of the non-toxic (safe) concentration on dffferent microbial
cultures. The third part was to study the capacity of the non-toxic concentration
to stain the anterior lens capsule and compare it to one of the actually
used stains in performing CCC. |
