Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis,
2018 – 2026
Vitreous tamponades are essentials used in vitrectomy procedures for healing or reattachment of
retina and in vitreous dysfunction. They are majorly used in various retinal disorders such as retinal
detachment, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, retinal degeneration, vascular occlusion,
macular hole, epiretinal membrane, macular edema, uveitis, and retinopathy of prematurity.
Vitreous humor is clear and colorless fluid made up of 99% water. It occupies the space between
retina and lens of the eye. Vitreous protects the eye by holding their spherical shape and helps to
stay retina in place. In vitreous dysfunction, vitreous gets liquefied and shrinks in size, which
eventually leads to visual impairment. As vitreous humor cannot regenerate, the cavity must be
filled with substitutes by vitrectomy surgery to treat vitreous dysfunction. They are replaced with
artificial substitutes, which closely resembles the native vitreous in both function and structure. The
ideal vitreous substitutes should be transparent, biocompatible and elastic. Vitreous substitutes such
as Semi fluorinated alkanes tamponades and silicone oil/semi fluorinated alkanes combinations are
more superior physically and chemically than conventional gas or liquid tamponades. Natural
polymers, hydrogel, transplant/implants, and vitreous regeneration are new vitreous substitutes in
developmental stage.
