The influence of UV-visible light, microwave radiation, argon laser, and heating and aging processes on silicone oil utilized as intravitreal implants: Experimental exposure with clinical correlation
It may be postulated that patients exposed to the argon laser experienced more emulsification than the other two groups, leading to the earlier removal of the SO implants from the eyes. This investigation did not consider the biological effects of inflammatory biomarkers; however, it may provide valuable insights for optimizing the use of SO in ophthalmic surgery and other potential applications.
