The trypan blue-stained viscoelastic is removed in its entirety using a Simcoe cannula. A stream of Healonid GV can be seen flowing into the cannula with some residual viscoelastic remaning, which is subsequently removed. Without the dye, much of the viscoelastic might have been left in the anterior... chamber – a risk factor for an acute rise in intra ocular pressure.
