Successful removal of a large conjunctival cyst using colored 2.3% sodium hyaluronate.

A 39-year-old woman was referred for the management of a large conjunctival cyst in her right eye. A mixture of trypan blue and 2.3% sodium hyaluronate was injected into the cyst using a 27-gauge needle to achieve a complete removal of the cyst. This new technique provided excellent visualization to achieve an easy and complete resection of the large conjunctival cyst. Colored 2.3% sodium hyaluronate is effective in delineating the capsule and preserving its integrity during the removal of a large conjunctival cyst. Such a technique may also have a role in facilitating visualization and excision of other cystic lesions from the ocular surface.
