Our study demonstrates that purification and chemical stability are important factors in retinal tolerance of PFCLs for vitreous replacement. Although purified PFD was tolerated by the rabbit eyes for 1 week, we cannot recommend this substance for short-term clinical use as a vitreous substitute.

Optical interference has to be considered a possibility if it turns out that the droplets cannot be removed during silicone oil evacuation. Consequently silicone intraocular lenses without hydrophilic preparation of the surface should not be implanted in eyes undergoing combined anterior and posterior segment surgery with silicone oil tamponade or in eyes with high risk for vitreoretinal complications.

Aspirin delivery by intravitreal silicone oil in the human eye is safe and also may provide a delivery vehicle for other antiproliferative agents to the posterior pole.
