Perfluorocarbonated liquids (PFCL) are occasionally used in vitreoretinal surgery. In this article, we present a case of a young man who sustained a trauma to his eye resulting in a traumatic cataract and retinal detachment. He underwent combined cataract extraction, intraocular lens implantation and a vitrectomy for retinal detachment. Perfluorodecaline was used to stabilize the retina during the surgery. One day after surgery he was found to have many small bubbles of perfluorodecaline settling in the lower half of the anterior chamber. He was managed conservatively and followed up for a period of 1 year during which there were no sequel for the retained PFCL.

Conjunctivitis is one of the most common diseases of the anterior segment. It is characterized by redness of the eye, conjunctivital injection, the presence of secretions in the conjunctival sac. The most common symptoms reported by patients include: pain, redness, itching, foreign body sensation and photophobia. Intensifying severe symptoms can lead to difficulties in daily activities. The correct diagnosis of the etiological agent is essential to implement an appropriate treatment and relieve symptoms of the disease.
