We evaluated the toxicity of very low viscosity (100 centistokes) and higher viscosity silicone oil (5000 centistokes) in rabbit eyes as a short-to-long-term postoperative vitreous substitute (6 weeks to 5 months). Emulsification of 100-cs and 5000-cs silicone oil did not occur in eyes which were followed for as long as 5 months. No toxic effects to retinal cells were detected by light or electron microscopy. Because no toxic effects were seen with 100-cs silicone oil, it can be used in an outpatient setting as a short-term postoperative tamponading agent. Electroretinographic responses of silicone-injected eyes were normal.
