Clinical Observation on Preservation of Lens Anterior Capsule in Reduction of Complications Associated with Silicone Oil

Purpose: To observe the effect of preservation of anterior capsule on the incidence of complications associated with silicone oil.Methods: 82 patients(82 eyes) accepted trans pars plana vitrectomy(TPPV) combined with lensectomy of whom , 30 eyes with preservation of anterior capsule(PAC) and 52 eyes with no preservation of anterior capsule (NPAC). Analysis of the incidence of complications associated with use of oil.Results:The incidence rate was 50. 0 % in NPAC group, and 23. 3 % in PAC group( P < 0. 025 ). There were secondary glaucoma (21. 1 % ), band keratopathy (13.5%) and comeal decompensation(9. 6 % ) in NPAC group, while there was none of them in PAC group.Conclusions: Preservation of anterior capsule is an effective method to reduce the complications associated with silicone oil.
