Indications for silicone oil injection after vitrectomy included advanced stages of proliferative vitreoretinopathy following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (49%), severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy (38%), and proliferative vitreoretinopathy following retinal detachment due to ocular trauma (13%). Postoperative complications were noted in a 6- to 30-month follow-up period. Cataractous changes of varying degree were seen in all phakic eyes. Silicone oil entered the anterior chamber in 6% of all phakic and pseudophakic eyes. Subretinal silicone oil was noted in 4%. Other complications associated with the use of intravitreal silicone oil included biomicroscopically visible silicone oil emulsification (0.7%), keratopathy (5.5%), glaucoma (6%), closure of the inferior iridectomy (6%), and reproliferation of epiretinal and subretinal fibrous membranes (40%). We anticipate that the physicochemical characteristics of the highly purified silicone oil (viscosity, 5000 mPa·s) and the routine performance of an inferior iridectomy in all aphakic eyes had a positive impact on the low incidence of silicone-oil-related complications such as emulsification, keratopathy and secondary glaucoma.
