Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of residual perfluorocarbon liquid(PFCL) droplets in the anterior chamber in patients after vitreoretinal(VR) surgery for complicated retinal detachments.Methods The study group consisted of nine patients(nine eyes)aged 16～64 in whom droplets of perfluorodeclin liquid(PFDL) appeared in the anterior chamber subsequent to VR surgery for complicated retinal detachments involving scleral bucking, vitrectomy and/or lensectomy, the peeling of pre-retinal membrane, perfluorodecalin injection, and perfluorodeclin liquid-silicone oil or fluid-air exchange. Mean follow-up was 10.3 months.Results Three to 30 droplets of perfluorodeclin liquid were found in the anterior chambers in 9 eyes. There was no corneal complication or inflammatory reactions or blood vessel invasion into the corneal stroma or increased intraocular pressure.Conclusion Residual perfluorodeclin liquid droplets in the anterior chamber are well tolerated and do not induce corneal damage or ocular inflammation.
