A Low-Molecular-Weight Oil Cleaner For Removal of Leftover Silicone Oil Intraocular Tamponade [Retina]

Conclusions. The double-emulsification approach was effective in removing remnant droplets from the eye cavities, and the cleaner was compatible with common cell types encountered in human eyes. The mechanism of toxicity of the proposed cleaner is still unknown, therefore, further in vivo animal tests are needed for full evaluation of the physiological response before the proposed cleaner can be advanced to clinical trials for retinal surgeries.
