[In vitro study of the effects of neodymium-YAG laser on silicone oil].
Composition of gas generated by the utilisation of Nd-Yag laser in eyes filled with silicone oil were studied by means of an in vitro optical breakdown in silicone oil. The newly formed gas were analysed by headspace gas chromatography on two separate columns. The secondary gas were mainly methane and ethylene which might be potentially harmful to the ocular tissues.
