Increasing the extensional viscosity of silicone oil reduces the tendency for emulsification
  Purpose: The purpose was to study the emulsification of silicone oil tamponade agents that cause clinical complications. This study aimed to increase the emulsification resistance of silicone oil 1,000 to be at least as resistant as silicone oil 5,000 while maintaining the shear viscosity
