Abstract

A tamponade of the vitreous space with silicone oil will obligatory lead to cataract after 6 to 12 months. Today it is easily possible, to implant an artificial lense in silicone oil filled eyes. However the combination of an artificial lense and silicone oil will lead to a strong inflammation in the anterior segment of the eye. 22 pseudophacic patients with silicone oil tamponade were examined 2 to 6 months after the operation. In 12 patients simple artificial lenses were implanted, in 10 patients heparin modified lenses were implanted. In 10 cases the lens was implanted followed by the insufflation of silicone oil in the vitreous cavity, in 2 cases a lens was implanted in a silicone oil filled eye and the silicon oil was not removed. In 8 cases the implantation of the artificial lens has been performed some months to years before the insufflation of the silicone oil. The indication for the silicon oil tamponade was a PVR retinal detachment in all cases. The following parameters were examined: Reaction of the pupil to light, pupil round or oval in miosis, examination of the fundus peripherie possible after mydriasis, fixation of the iris with parts of the capsula or with the anterior surface of the lens? In addition in 12 case...Continue Reading
