Silicone oils (SO) are used as long-term intraocular tamponades and have an irreplaceable
role in vitreoretinal surgery. They can, however, be associated with multiple and potentially …

Wounds are breaks in the continuity of the skin and underlying tissues, resulting from
external causes such as cuts, blows, impacts, or surgical interventions. Countless …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been evaluated as potential nanocarriers for
intraocular incorporation of brimonidine tartrate to treat chronic glaucoma. Experimental …

Vitreo‐retinal disorders constitute a significant portion of treatable ocular diseases. These
pathologies often require vitreo‐retinal surgery and, as a consequence, the use of vitreous …
