The safety of air travel for persons with intraocular gas after ocular surgery has been in question since the mid 1970s, when the use of intraocular gases after vitrectomy became widespread. After vitrectomy, air-fluid exchange was performed on six Rhesus monkeys. During simulated air travel in an altitude chamber, intraocular pressure rose an average of 42 mmHg with intraocular air volumes as small as 0.25 cc. Hypotony was observed after return to ground level in all cases. Transient central retinal artery occlusion and pupillary block was observed. Patient safety and comfort is endangered during air travel with very small volumes of intraocular gas.
自20世纪70年代中期玻璃体切除术后眼内气体的使用变得普遍以来，接受过眼内气体填充的患者乘坐飞机旅行的安全性一直备受质疑。对六只恒河猴进行玻璃体切除术后行空气-液体交换。在海拔舱内模拟空中旅行期间，眼内气体量低至0.25立方厘米时，眼压平均升高42毫米汞柱。所有病例返回地面后均观察到低眼压。观察到短暂性视网膜中央动脉阻塞和瞳孔阻滞。即使眼内气体量非常少，患者在乘坐飞机旅行期间的安全和舒适度仍会受到威胁。
