Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the frequency of retinal displacement after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) using silicone oil tamponade in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods

Patients with fresh RRD were enrolled in this prospective interventional case series. A standard 3-port PPV with silicone oil tamponade was performed in all cases. A complete ocular examination, optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging were performed at 1 and 3 months follow-up. Orthoptic examinations including synoptophore and light on–off tests were also performed at 3 months.

Results

Twenty-three eyes from 23 patients with mean age of 56.6 ± 11 (range: 38–82) years were included. All patients were pseudophakic. Downward retinal displacement was found in 2 eyes (8.7%) showing hyperautofluorescent lines parallel to retinal vessels in FAF image. The patients with retinal displacement did not complain of metamorphopsia and did not show abnormality in orthoptic tests.

Conclusion

Unintentional retinal shift following PPV with silicone oil tamponade for RRD is uncommon and might have little clinical significance.
