Agarose Gel as an Injectable Filler Significantly Reduced the Risk of Rabbit Retinal Artery Embolism Compared to Hyaluronic Acid

Key Points

• Injectable filler using agarose gel significantly reduces retinal artery embolism risk.
• Agarose gel decreased embolism occurrence by 50% compared to hyaluronic acid after testing.
• Experimental analysis involved assessment of ocular interventions in a controlled rabbit model.
• This suggests agarose gel may be safer than hyaluronic acid for similar medical applications.
