Consensus on the Treatment of Severe Ocular Trauma and Silicone Oil-Dependent Eyes Using Foldable Capsular Vitreous...

To establish evidence-based guidelines for the application of the foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) in managing severe ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent eyes.

We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, screening, extracting, and evaluating research evidence. Experts in ocular trauma and vitreoretinal surgery provided practical insights and formulated key questions. Using the Delphi method, the working group identified seven clinical issues and established outcome indicators. Seven recommendations were developed, reviewed, and approved by a multinational consensus expert group.

This consensus presents seven evidence-based recommendations for FCVB implantation, emphasizing the importance of patient assessment, FCVB model selection, and intraoperative and postoperative management. Each recommendation is supported by detailed explanations and evidence, highlighting the potential benefits of FCVB as an alternative to traditional treatments for severe ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent eyes, including reduced complications and improved visual outcomes.

On the basis of existing literature and expert consensus, this consensus provides evidence-based guidance for FCVB application in treating severe ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent eyes. The recommendations serve as a valuable resource for ophthalmologists, facilitating more effective and safer treatment options for patients.
