Abstract
Silicone oil can be easily dissolved in vivo from silicone intraocular lens es by perfluorohexyl-octane. Using specular microscopy, we examined the cor neal endothelium in a patient with silicone lens implantation immediately a fter cataract surgery and 5 weeks postoperatively. There were no signs of a cute or chronic toxicity to the endothelium. (C) 2000 ASCRS and ESCRS.
