Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas, tested in the vitreous chamber of owl monkey eyes, remained in the vitreous cavity about twice as long as air (ten to 11 days vs. five to six days). Its volume expanded from the diffusion of other gases into the created gas pocket. Lens opacities developed when the lens was in continuous contact with SF6 or air. Sulfur hexafluoride appeared to be no more toxic to the retina than air, using electroretinographic, histologic, and electron microscopic criteria.
在夜猴眼玻璃体内腔进行测试的六氟化硫（SF6）气体，在玻璃体内腔留存的时间约为空气的两倍（分别为10至11天和5至6天）。由于其他气体扩散到所形成的气腔中，其体积会膨胀。当晶状体持续与SF6或空气接触时，会出现晶状体混浊。根据视网膜电图、组织学和电子显微镜标准，六氟化硫对视网膜的毒性似乎并不比空气更大。
