We reviewed the visual function in 58 eyes following vitrectomy and silicone oil implantation. The seriescomprised diabetic retinopathy 22 eyes, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) 22 eyes, age-related macular degeneration7 eyes and others. Silicone oil was later removed in 34 eyes (removed group) and not in 24 eyes (retained group). Thefinal visual acuity was significantly better in the removed group than in the retained group (p<0.05). Visual acuity in the removed group was not related with the interval between implantation and removal. In diabetic retinopathy and proliferative vitreoretinopathy, there was no difference in final visual acuity between the removed and retained group. The intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly decreased after removal of silicone oil (p<0.05). There was no difference in IOP before andafter vitrectomy in the retained group. Whenever feasible, we advocate eventual removal of silicone oil in order to avoid complications and to maintain visual functions.
