Retinal toxicity/biocompatibility of medical devices in direct contact with the retina is an important subject for clinicians and scientists. The past has taught us multiple times that there is a significant lack of safety associated with severe loss of vision in affected patients. In this review we want to classify medical products that are used in the back of the eye, describe recent examples of toxicity, critically reflect the regulations that exist and suggest improvements that can be done to ensure patient safety without hindering innovation.
