- Atlas Entry - Anterior chamber perfluoro-N-octane (PFO) bubbles
Perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) is a dense liquid (specific gravity of 1 76) that is used for the intraoperative management of retinal detachments Due to its density, low viscosity, and immiscibility in water, the PFO is able to displace sub-retinal fluid and blood anteriorly, allowing for retinal unfolding and stabilization during repair
- Atlas Entry - Subretinal perfluoro-N-octane (PFO) bubbles
67-year-old male with subretinal perfluoro-N-octane (PFO) bubbles after incomplete PFO removal during retinal detachment repair at an outside facility The patient was symptomatic with decreased visual acuity, metamorphopsias, and small central and paracentral scotomata
- Retained perfluorocarbon liquid in the anterior chamber
Perfluorocarbon liquids (PFCLs) are utilized intraoperatively in retinal detachment surgery They have a high specific gravity and thus can be used to displace subretinal fluid and manipulate giant retinal tears

- Perfluoro-n-octane in the Anterior Chamber
This 26 year-old man has Marfan syndrome and had bilateral pars plana vitrectomy, lensectomy with anterior chamber intraocular lenses Perfluoro-n-octane (PFO)was used during his vitrectomy and one can see the silicone oil in the anterior chamber at the haptic of the intraocular lens
- Retinal detachment with chronic intraocular foreign body
The IOFB was removed with a rare earth magnet via pars plana approach The retina was re-attached with perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) liquid, endolaser, air-fluid exchange, and 18% perfluoropropane (C3F8) gas The only causative break found in the retina was at the site of the IOFB
