Background : Surgery is needed in order to flatten and position a detached retina onto the choroid, to allow sealing of the tears and to prevent or reverse vision loss. In case of complex retinal detachment vitrectomies followed by ocular endotamponade - non-solid implants used in ophthalmology - is the most common treatment. Despite several options used by surgeons were not entirely satisfactory, no innovation were marketed in the ocular endotamponade field since decades. Purpose : Regarding comparative physico-chemical properties of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) with current tamponading agents (silicone oil or gases), it will be proposed to evaluate the MCT as an ocular endotamponade product.
