It is essential to visualize posterior hyaloid, epiretinal proliferation, and internal limiting membrane during vitreoretinal surgery especially in surgeries for vitreoretinal interface diseases. Even though indirect signs and reflections may help their identification, these signs are not as reliable and effective as direct visualization of these structures in preventing traumatic surgery. Dyes that are used to stain living tissues are called vital dyes. Vitreoretinal surgery using these dyes is called chromovitrectomy. Diagnosis of vitreoretinal interface diseases was diversified, indications were widened and the number of patients was increased over the last fifteen years with the widespread use of optical coherence tomography. Vital dyes became a sine qua non in today's vitreoretinal surgeries for vitreoretinal interface diseases. This article discusses the properties and the place of widely used dyes such as triamcinolone, trypan blue, brilliant blue G, and indocyanine green.

This chapter poses the question of “reality”. In opposition to a substantialist vision that has notably characterized modernity, Whitehead develops a processual conception of the real which is made of becomings and individuations. This vision of the real is envisaged starting from three distinct questions: First of all, how to exactly define a process of individuation? This question is treated in its historical aspects (Aristotle and Leibniz) and with respect to contemporary philosophy (Simondon and Deleuze). Secondly, where do the forms, the puissances, the virtualities derive from which accompany any individuation? Starting from this question it is most notably the relation with Platonism and its heritage that is elaborated. And third, which vision of time is implied in a theory of individuation? Even though close to Bergson, Whitehead’s philosophy profoundly differs from it with respect to the status of time and builds up new links with contemporary science.
