The vitreous after C3F8 gas instillation: long-term histologic findings after spontaneous reabsorption of the gas in rabbit eyes

J Faulborn et al. Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol. 1987.

Abstract

Perfluoropropane gas (C3F8) was injected intravitreally into rabbit eyes to displace the vitreous. Histologic examination by light and scanning electron microscopy revealed the vitreous material slowly expanded up to a nearly normal configuration during a follow-up of 6 months. Neither posterior vitreous detachment nor liquefaction of the vitreous could be observed.
