“…34 The IOP elevation may range from mild and transient to severe and sustained. The early IOP spikes may be due to pupillary block, mechanical-angle obstruction by oil, or inflammation and the late-onset spikes are proposed to be due to synechial-angle closure, rubeosis iridis, oil droplet emulsification, and migration of silicone oil into the anterior chamber and clogging the outflow.…”

“…SO may cause some complications like secondary glaucoma and keratopathy by generating oil droplets due to the emulsification. 10 Raised IOP remains a significant complication of intraocular SO with reported incidences of between 6 and 40% of eyes and it occurs via different pathophysiologic mechanisms. 10 An early postoperative rise in IOP can be due to pupillary block, inflammation, pre-existing glaucoma, and/or final migration of SO into the anterior chamber with consequent mechanical impediment to filtration.…”

“…The secondary glaucoma following the use of SiO with retinal surgery may be caused by migration of emulsified oil to the anterior chamber, synechial angle closure, rubeosis iridis, pupillary block, and inflammation, or a combination of these. 17,18 However, prophylactic surgical inferior iridectomy reduces the risk of pupillary block glaucoma in aphakic eyes. The migration of emulsified oil to the anterior chamber and into the trabecular meshwork may mechanically obstruct the trabecular meshwork or it may cause inflammation of the trabecular meshwork, leading to decreased outflow facility.…”

“…[13][14][15][16] Among the risk factors for IOP elevation after SiO injection, a history of preexisting glaucoma, SiO bubbles in the anterior chamber, emulsification of the SiO, diabetes mellitus, and aphakia have been reported. 9,14,17,18 Although the exact mechanism of IOP elevation is unknown, there are many theories about the role of SiO in IOP elevation. The secondary glaucoma following the use of SiO with retinal surgery may be caused by migration of emulsified oil to the anterior chamber, synechial angle closure, rubeosis iridis, pupillary block, and inflammation, or a combination of these.…”
