Vitreous Tamponades in Vitreoretinal Surgery
Vitreous tamponades are substances that are injected into the eye during vitreoretinal surgery to act as an internal tamponading agent. They are designed to press against retinal breaks or tears to prevent the ingress of fluid into the subretinal space, which causes retinal detachment. By tamponading the retinal breaks, these substances help attach the retina and promote healing.
Liquids like perfluoropropane are used less commonly. They are aqueous, inert and have a short intraocular residence of around 2-3 weeks before being absorbed and eliminated through the aqueous outflow pathways. However, they do not provide as strong a tamponade effect as gases or silicone oils.

The tamponade can temporarily raise eye pressure, sometimes requiring topical eye drops or other measures.
