Pachometry before and after vitrectomy with silicone oil injection

Abstract

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To evaluate differences in central corneal thickness (CCT) before and after vitrectomy with injection of silicone oil as vitreous substitution material in order to determine whether silicone oil causes more frequent and/or pronounced corneal decompensation than other substitution materials.

Evaluation of Corneal Endothelial Cells After Pars Plana Vitrectomy

“…The cut-off value above which IOP was considered high and requiring antiglaucoma was 25mmHg and none of our patients have reached IOP above 25 mmHg or received antiglaucoma medication. (Table 5) Buch et al, 1999 [26 ] reported an increase in IOP 48 hours post operatively . IOP increased by a mean value3.0mmHg (20.2%) in the silicone group.…”

“…Buch et al, 1999 [26] measured CCT by ultrasonic pachymetry for two groups; with SO as vitreous substitute (group 1) and with other substitution materials as gas, air or saline (group 2). Measurements were performed preoperatively and 24 hours, 48 hours and 5 months postoperatively.…”
