Early vascular changes after silicone oil removal using optical coherence tomography angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluated the vascular changes in the macular and peripapillary regions before and after silicone oil (SO) removal in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Methods

This single-center case series assessed patients who underwent SO removal at one hospital. Patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and perfluoropropane gas tamponade (PPV + C₃F₈) were selected as controls. Superficial vessel density (SVD) and superficial perfusion density (SPD) in the macular and peripapillary regions were assessed by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was assessed using LogMAR.

Results

Fifty eyes were administered SO tamponade, 54 SO tamponade(SOT) contralateral eyes, 29 PPV + C
