Popis: Experimental study was performed on 12 (24 eyes) rabbits. All animals underwent back closed subtotal vitrectomy, followed by a 30-day tamponade perfluororganic compound (PFOC) of the right eye, lightweight silicone or saline (left eye). Electron microscopic examination was carried out after 7, 14 and 30 day tamponade. After a 30-day tamponade with the compounds, the structures of the retina respond with similar changes. However these changes were reactive, not damaging, and they are reversible. The compounds can be used for momentary tamponade.
