Bubbles of 100% perfluoropropane (0.4 ml) were injected into the vitreous cavities of 31 New Zealand White rabbits. Gas bubbles were aspirated from eyes at six and 12 hours and at one, two, three, four, five, seven, nine, and 14 days, and were analyzed by gas chromatography. The nonexpansile concentration of perfluoropropane (found at maximum expansion of the gas bubble at four days) was approximately 12%. The gas bubble concentration equilibrated at seven days with a perfluoropropane concentration of approximately 10% with little change through 14 days. Using a similar protocol, we injected 0.56-ml bubbles of 100% perfluoropropane into the vitreous cavities of three owl monkeys. When sampled on day 4 for analysis by gas chromatography, results were comparable to the rabbit data. A 12% concentration of perfluoropropane should approximate the ideal composition of a gas mixture for a total fluid-gas exchange. This would achieve complete retinal tamponade without later compromise of intraocular pressure by further expansion.
