Removal of silicone oil from aphakia: use of a self-sealing corneal incision.

AbstractPURPOSE:
To report and illustrate a modified and simple technique for silicone oil removal from aphakic eyes.
DESIGN:
Interventional case series.
METHODS:
Eighteen eyes of 18 patients who once had pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy combined with silicone oil tamponade underwent silicone oil removal using a self-sealing corneal incision.
RESULTS:
All of the 18 silicone oil removal procedures performed had clear corneal incisions, which did not require suturing.
CONCLUSIONS:
Silicone oil can be removed successfully from aphakia using the self-sealing corneal incision under local anesthesia.
