Quantitative signs on ultrasound biomicroscopy images associated with the status of silicone oil emulsification within the eye.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Silicone oil (SO) is a commonly used intraocular tamponade in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). SO emulsification is a common complication after SO injection. This study aimed to investigate correlations between SO emulsification signs on ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and the real number/size of SO droplets.

Methods

An observational, cross-sectional study. Thirty-five RRD patients (19 males; 35 eyes) who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and SO injection were enrolled in the study. SO emulsification signs on UBM (endothelial deposits, floating droplets, ghost images, hyperoleon, anterior chamber angle impregnation, anterior iris surface impregnation, posterior iris surface impregnation and ciliary body impregnation) were acquired and quantif
