This chapter concentrates on the physical properties of liquid agents used in the eye and explains how they produce the tamponade effect. We illustrate certain principles using air and silicone oil; we also cover semi-fluorinated alkanes especially in the context of designing new and heavier-than-water tamponade agents. The successful repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachments depends crucially on the identification and closure of retinal breaks. There are only two manoeuvres which lead directly to break closure: ∑ Scleral buckling (sometimes referred to as external tamponade) ∑ Insertion of gas or liquid agents in the vitreous cavity (internal tamponade)
