Abstract:BackgroundSilicone oil tamponade is widely used in vitreoretinal surgery. In some cases, silicone oil may not be extracted for a long time or even permanently and is referred to as silicone oil-dependent eyes. In this study, we aimed to deduce a theoretical formula for calculating intraocular lens power for silicone oil-dependent eyes and compare it with clinical findings.MethodsA theoretical formula was deduced using strict geometric optical principles and the Gullstrand simplified eye model. The preoperative… Show more
