PURPOSE:To assess the effects of silicone oil removal on the complications associated with its use. METHODS:Retrospective analysis of the results of silicone oil removal after vitreous surgery for retinal detachment in 913 eyes in National Ophthalmology Centre of French. The follow-up period was at least six months and the mean duration of oil tamon- ade was 6.4 months. RESULTS :Retinal detachment recurred in 7.3%. The development of cataract continued after silicone oil removal. No patient retained a clear lens in the eye with oil remained in situ for more than 3 months. TWO of 5 eyes with keratopathy at the time of oil removal recovered after the oil removal ;but the corneas of another 4 eyes became dystrophic after the oil removal. Twelve of 15 eyes with secondary ocular hypertension incontrollable through medicinal treatment relieved after oil removal ,but another 11 eyes became hypertensive after oil removal. Persistent emulsive droplets wre found in anterior chamber angles of the above 11 hypertensive eyes and the 7 eyes with keratopathy. CONCLUSINOS:Early removal of silicone oil after retinal detachment operation might delay the development of cataract but can not avoid its occurence ,and ocular hypeitension and keratopathy can be prevented by early and complete removal of silicone oil.
