Ocular hypertonia

It is noteworthy that this formulation is different from fluorosilicones. Fluorosili-cones are fluorine-containing silicone oils with a 1.35 g/cm density. Their poor tolerance in animals and men was demonstrated by experimental studies [45,46] ocular hypertonia, keratopathy, early emulsification and severe inflammatory reactions. They cannot therefore be used as a heavy internal tamponade product. 

In the clinical study, perioperative complications were highlighted by two cases of early and unexplained emulsification, impairing fundus visualisation but not precluding reapplication. Post-operative complications were emulsification in seven case, including one very severe one. No corneal dystrophy and no ocular hypertonia were reported.
