Background.
Many patients with corneal opacity or complicated cataract in blind eye ask for cosmoses.
In this study we tried to investigate the staining of corneas of male rabbits by Rotring China painting ink and to study the histological changes.
Method.
10 eyes of 10 male Baladi Egyptian rabbits were injected (0.1 mL) intrastromally in the cornea by the use of China painting ink (Rotring Tinta China) through insulin syringe (27-gauge needle) by single injection; clinical follow-up is for 6 months and lastly the rabbits were scarified and the stained eyes were enucleated for histological analysis.
Results.
Clinically the stain was stable in color and distribution in corneas with no major complications.
Histological results of the stained rabbit corneas showed blackish pigmentation in the corneal stroma without any inflammatory cellular infiltration.
Some fibroblast cells had pigment granules in their cytoplasm in the adjacent layers.
Conclusion.
Corneal staining by China painting ink is effective and safe in staining of male rabbits cornea; however further study in human corneas with longer follow-up period is advisable.
