Perfluorocarbon liquids are established tools for intraoperative hydrokinetic retinal manipulation. Because of their high specific gravity, however, they may well cause mechanical damage to the retina when applied as a long-term vitreous substitute. Perfluorohexyloctane, a semi-fluorinated liquid fluorocarbon of low specific gravity (1.35 g/cm3), was developed as a long-term vitreous substitute. The current study was performed to investigate intraocular tolerance to perfluorohexyloctane as a long-term vitreous substitute in the experimental animal.
