when i talked about the side effects this is what i was referring to. now, we need to find out if dr. d's magic potion prevents this reaction. notice that long term use of the solution caused problems. dr. d's elixir may be what we are looking for.

Pupillary block glaucoma due to residual perfluoro-decalin.

Perfluorocarbon liquids are used in vitreoretinal surgery and should be removed by the end of surgery. Removal is not always achieved and a few cases of complications resulting from perfluorocarbon liquid residues have been reported. The authors report a unique case of pupillary block glaucoma resulting from perfluoro-decalin residue in the anterior chamber that blocked a surgical coloboma of the iris at the 6-o'clock position. The perfluoro-decalin residue dissolved spontaneously with antiglaucoma treatment and no surgical intervention was needed. When perfluorocarbon liquids are used during pars plana vitrectomy, the possibility of silicone-induced pupillary block in the presence of an inferior iris coloboma should not be overlooked.
