Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution is a blue dye used during cataract surgery to stain the front eye lens capsule. This helps surgeons see the clear lens layer more easily, improving precision. The dye is washed out after use and does not affect deeper eye structures.
Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution is used only during eye surgery by trained eye specialists and is administered by a doctor as a single-use solution during cataract surgery. Since it is applied intraoperatively, there is no requirement for patient self-administration or ongoing adherence post-procedure. It is a one-time application during the procedure, ensuring safety and accuracy without requiring patient adherence afterward.
Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution may cause temporary staining inside the eye, such as on the back part of the lens or the gel-like substance in the eye (vitreous). These effects are usually mild and resolve on their own.
Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution should only be used during eye surgery by trained professionals. It is not suitable if a certain type of lens (dry acrylic lens) is being placed in the eye, as it may get stained. The surgeon will take care to remove any extra dye to avoid unwanted coloring inside the eye.

How to use Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution
This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.
How Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution works
Ryblue Ophthalmic Solution works by gently staining the front layer of the eye’s natural lens, which is usually clear and hard to see during cataract surgery. Coloring this layer blue helps the surgeon see the area more clearly and perform delicate steps like cutting and removing the lens with better accuracy. The dye only colors the surface it touches and does not go deeper into the eye.
