Efficacy of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) versus perfluoropropane (C3F8) tamponade in large macular hole
Both SF<sub>6</sub> and C<sub>3</sub>F<sub>8</sub> tamponades are equally effective in the treatment of large macular holes. However, despite poorer pre-operative prognostic factors like larger MLD and macular hole index, the efficacy and safety of SF<sub>6</sub> gas tamponade are comparable to C<sub>3</sub>F<sub>8</sub> tamponade.
