Abstract:
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the influence of a temporary silicone oil (SiO) tamponade on intraocular pressure (IOP). We reviewed 131 procedures with a temporary SiO tamponade for different indications. Visual outcome and anatomic results after the SiO removal were also analyzed. Relatively good visual and anatomic results can be achieved by a temporary SiO tamponade with an acceptable complication rate.
