In vitro Laser Decomposition of Silicone Fluid Used in Detachment of the Retina

In vitro Laser Decomposition of Silicone Fluid Used in Detachment of the Retina The in vitro exposure of the silicone fluid Dimethicone 1,000 to radiation from the Nd:YAG laser results in the formation of transient breakdown gases which are composed mainly of methane, ethylene and traces of ethane, as identified by head-space gas chromatography. These hydrocarbons may interfere with the intra-ocular environment in the management of retinal detachment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Ophthalmologica Karger

Abstract

The in vitro exposure of the silicone fluid Dimethicone 1,000 to radiation from the Nd:YAG laser results in the formation of transient breakdown gases which are composed mainly of methane, ethylene and traces of ethane, as identified by head-space gas chromatography. These hydrocarbons may interfere with the intra-ocular environment in the management of retinal detachment.
