About this active substance
Sulfur hexafluoride is a gas used in ophthalmology for the treatment of retinal detachment and other vitreoretinal conditions. It is injected into the eye to create a gas bubble that helps reposition the retina.
The procedure is performed by a specialist, and patients must follow postoperative instructions, such as maintaining a specific head position. It is important for patients to avoid air travel until the gas is fully absorbed.
Patients should be aware of potential complications, such as increased intraocular pressure or infections. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
Common side effects include ocular discomfort and temporary increases in intraocular pressure. In rare cases, severe complications such as infections or retinal damage may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before the procedure.
