Introduction
Evaluation of the results of cataract extraction in eyes filled with silicone oil. Material and methods Twenty – nine eyes of 29 patients underwent cataract extraction without intraocular lens implantation, in eyes after vitrectomy filled with silicone oil. The average time of silicone oil tamponade was 3,5 years (range from 10 months to 6 years). The mean follow-up was 26,1±17,5 months. Results Useful visual acuity was achieved in 55% eyes. The main complication was the increased intraocular pressure, which appeared in 38% eyes. Conclusions Cataract surgery in eyes with long-term silicone oil tamponade get benefit, because it enables restoring the useful visual acuity. More advanced retinal pathology and silicone oil tamponade increase the number of complications. keywords:
