Abstract

Gas tamponades are widely used during intraocular surgery. The high surface tension at the intraocular liquid to gas interface is used in retinal detachment and macular surgery, as well as in lamellar corneal transplant surgery. The patients postoperative posture determines the position of the gas bubble inside the eye. The article describes the development, physical laws and methods for postoperative positioning after intraocular surgery.
