International Ophthalmology, 2013 The purpose of this work is to study the effectiveness of silicone oil, heavy silicone oil and perfluorodecaline against Bacillus cereus. For this we tested the antimicrobial activities of three intraocularly used liquids--silicone oil (Siluron 1000), heavy silicone oil (Densiron-68) and perfluorodecaline (F-Decalin)--against B. cereus (NCTC 9946). The

Heavy silicone oil versus standard silicone oil in as vitreous tamponade in inferior PVR (HSO Study): interim analysis [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2011 The Heavy Silicone Oil versus Standard Silicone Oil Study (HSO study) is designed to answer the question whether a heavier-than-water tamponade improves the prognosis of eyes with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) of the lower retina.The HSO Study is a multicentre, randomized, prospective, controlled clinical trial stratified by surgeon comparing ...

Heavy silicone oil versus standard silicone oil as vitreous tamponade in inferior PVR (HSO Study): design issues and implications [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2007 Abstract.Purpose: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the most important reason for blindness following retinal detachment. Presently, vitreous tamponades such as gas or silicone oil cannot contact the lower part of the retina. A heavier‐than‐water tamponade displaces the inflammatory and PVR‐stimulating environment from the inferior area of the ...

Physics-informed, phenotype-based endotamponade selection in vitreoretinal surgery: current agents and emerging vitreous substitutes [PDF]
International Journal of Retina and VitreousBackground Endotamponade selection is best understood as a physics-informed, phenotype-based decision rather than one driven mainly by tamponade duration or material class.

Clinical observations and occurrence of complications following heavy silicone oil surgery. [PDF]
Biomed Res Int, 2014 Purpose.To demonstrate development and complications in heavy silicone oil (HSO) surgery in 100 eyes following primary vitreoretinal surgery.Methods.100 eyes were included in this retrospective study that underwent vitreoretinal surgery using HSO as endotamponade. Indication diagnoses were retinal detachments(n=76), complicated macular holes (MH)(n=20),
