To describe a solvent that removes silicone oil adhesions on intraocular lenses (IOLs).The solvent O44 is a partially fluorinated alcane that dissolves silicone oil. Silicone oil adhesions on silicone and poly(methyl methacrylate) IOLs were treated with O44. The extent of silicone oil adhesions and the effectiveness of O44 were studied by gross microscopy.The solvent O44 removed silicone oil adhesions from both IOL types.The substance O44 may be a successful intraoperative tool to remove silicone oil IOL adhesions, avoiding IOL explantation.
