Anti-VEGF agents, e.g., bevacizumab, are used in retinal surgery, while their interaction with silicone oils and novel hydrogels remains unclear. This study examines the in vitro pharmacokinetics of bevacizumab in silicone oil-filled eyes compared to various hydrogel replacements and the porcine vitreous body as well as its impact on the interface tension of silicone oils. An in vitro model filled with light or heavy silicone oil, porcine vitreous bodies, or hydrogels (alginate and …
