Perfluorocarbon heavy liquids (PFCL) are effective tools in vitreoretinal surgery for managing complex retinal conditions. Clinical experience and research confirm their safety and utility as an intraoperative aid.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Biomaterials Science

Background:

  • Perfluorocarbon heavy liquids (PFCL) are specialized fluids used in posterior segment eye surgery.
  • Their application has expanded beyond initial uses in giant retinal tears and proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current role of PFCL in vitreoretinal surgery.
  • To analyze personal experience and experimental evidence, including adverse effects.

Main Methods:

  • Review of personal clinical experience with PFCL in vitreoretinal surgery.
  • Analysis of existing experimental data and literature on PFCL efficacy and safety.

Main Results:

  • Perfluorocarbon heavy liquids (PFCL) have demonstrated significant utility in facilitating intraocular fluid transfer and surgical maneuvers.
