This paper reviews the latest trends and applications of silicone in ophthalmology,
especially related to intraocular lenses (IOLs). Silicone, or siloxane elastomer, as a synthetic …

Silicone oil has emerged as the common option for intraocular tamponade during
complicated retina vitrectomy. However, the postoperative elevation of intraocular pressure …

Vitreous endotamponades play essential roles in facilitating retina recovery following
vitreoretinal surgery, yet existing clinically standards are suboptimal as they can cause …

Purpose To evaluate the functional and structural outcomes as well as postoperative
complications after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for severe features of proliferative diabetic …

Retinal detachment and other vision-threatening disorders often necessitate vitreous body
removal and tamponade injection for retina stabilization. Current clinical tamponades such …

Glaucoma is a vision threatening, not uncommon complication of eyes that have undergone
pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil endotamponade. Although most patients respond well …

Purpose: To propose the InTraocular EMulsion of Silicone oil (ITEMS) grading system for the
assessment of silicone oil (SiO) emulsion, applicable in a routine clinical setting and …

Objective: To illustrate the complications in subjects who experienced posterior vitrectomy
and internal tamponade with silicone oil. Design: Prospective, observational, longitudinal …

Background To investigate the presence of silicone oil (SO)-emulsification on the anterior
iris surface with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Methods In this …

Background To evaluate risk factors and further develop prediction models for intraocular
pressure elevation (IOP) after vitreoretinal surgery with silicone oil tamponade to support …
