“…6,[9][10][11][12][13] It is, however, generally accepted that where possible prompt removal of silicone oil will minimise its potential ocular side effects. This is not always desirable because of the risk of redetachment which has been reported in up to one in three patients 9 particularly those with complex previous vitreoretinal pathology.…”

Aims/background To analyse the effectiveness and safety of cyclodiode treatment in eyes with silicone oil-related raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and to correlate the results with clinical features of treated eyes. Methods Retrospective review of case notes of all eyes that underwent cyclodiode treatment following injection of silicone oil at Moorfields Eye Hospital between April 1993 and January 2003 and were followed up for at least 1 year. Results In all, 38 patients were followed up for between 13 and 113 months. Totally, 17 had silicone oil in situ at the time of first treatment. The mean pretreatment IOP was 31.4 mmHg (SD 10.9), reducing to 18.6 mmHg (SD 8.6) at 1 year and to 13.9 mmHg (SD 8.4) at the final follow-up visit (Po0.001). Before treatment, 28 (73.7%) patients were on two or more topical medications. This was reduced to 18 (47.4%) patients (P ¼ 0.013) at 1 year and 13 (34.2%) patients (P ¼ 0.0007) at final follow-up. Use of oral acetazolamide for glaucoma was reduced from 16 (42.1%) patients precyclodiode to five (13.2%) patients at 1 year (P ¼ 0.0034) and three (7.9%) patients at the final visit (P ¼ 0.001). Four patients (10.5%) at 1 year and five patients (13.2%) at the final visit had hypotony (defined as IOP of less than 5 mmHg). One patient had enucleation 75 months following first cyclodiode treatment. Conclusion Diode laser photocoagulation can successfully control silicone oil-induced raised intraocular pressure where medical treatment fails. Reduction of IOP appears to be maintained long term.

“…It is known that silicone oil removal carries a certain risk of postoperative retinal detachment (McCuen 1985;Federman & Schubert 1988;Zilis et al 1989;Gonvers 1990;Hö ing et al 1991;Franks & Leaver 1991;Silicone Study Group 1994;Bodanowitz 1996). However, thorough analysis of this complication has rarely been performed.…”

“…The occurrence of oil related complications (McCuen et al 1985;Jalkh et al 1986;Chan & Okun 1986;Laqua et al 1987;Federman & Schubert 1988;Lucke et al 1987Lucke et al , 1990Eckardt et al 1992) has led to the tendency to remove the oil from selected eyes after a certain filling period. Complications after silicone oil removal include retinal detachment, which can worsen the otherwise favourable prognosis of this procedure.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To evaluate the causes of retinal detachment after silicone oil removal, to define possible risk factors and the anatomical and functional prognosis of this complication. Methods: 112 eyes that underwent silicone oil removal were included. The group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal (18/112 eyes, 16.1%) was compared with the group with no postoperative retinal detachment. Results: The most common cause for retinal detachment after oil removal was anterior PVR (77.8%). Initial PVR detachment, advanced PVR stages, anterior PVR, more preceding operations, aphakia/pseudophakia, myopia and shorter duration of the oil tamponade were significantly more represented in the group of eyes with retinal detachment after oil removal. The prognosis of retinal detachment after oil removal is poor. Conclusion: Some criteria could be regarded as risk factors for retinal detachment after silicone oil removal. Improvement of the results should be possible by considering these factors and by control of reproliferations.

“…Thus, the axial resolution is expected to be enhanced by $1.4 times, while the acoustic impedance mismatch is relatively low (the amplitude reflection coefficient between the silicone oil and water is 0.16). Moreover, silicone oil is non-toxic and has been used in medical applications, such as in eye injection for managing complicated retinal detachments 11,12 and in soft tissue injection for tissue augmentation. 13,14 Without carrying out systematic biological studies, we believe that silicone oil is a relatively simple and safe choice for injection into biological tissues to reduce the speed of sound.…”

We propose to enhance the axial resolution of photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) by reducing the speed of sound within the imaging region of interest. With silicone oil immersion, we have achieved a finest axial resolution of 5.8 lm for PAM, as validated by phantom experiments. The axial resolution was also enhanced in vivo when mouse ears injected with silicone oil were imaged. When tissue-compatible low-speed liquid becomes available, this approach may find broad applications in PAM as well as in other imaging modalities, such as photoacoustic computed tomography and ultrasound imaging.
