AIM:To evaluate the refractive and long-term outcome of eyes filled with silicone oil(SO)undergoing phacoemulsification cataract surgery(PCS).METHODS:This retrospective study evaluated patients with SO tamponade who were scheduled for PCS.RESULTS:Subjects(n=26)were followed for 29.5±13.9 mo after cataract surgery.The median spherical equivalent refraction(SER)was+5.3 D[interquartile range(IQR)+2.9 to+6.7]before PCS,and+3.4 D(IQR+2.0 to+4.4)after PCS.Within the follow-up period retinal reattachment after SO removal was achieved in 15 out of 26 eyes(57.7%).In 13 eyes assessment of refraction after SO-removal was possible,and showed a myopic shift of-4.6 D(IQR-2.9 to-7.3)in the SER.After SO removal,5 of the 13 eyes(38.5%)were within±1.0 D of the target refraction,while 9 out of the 13 eyes(69.2%)were within±2.0 D.CONCLUSION:In our study,the refraction after PCS for eyes filled with SO manifested low predictability,as did the myopic shift following SO removal.A significant percentage of the eyes that underwent SO administration required a long-term tamponade.
