Evaluation of emulsified silicone oil with spectral domain-optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography.

Background: To report emulsified particles and related complications after removal of silicone oil (SO) by spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA).

Methods: A prospective, single-center investigation was performed using SD-OCT, FA and flare cell photometry measurements to evaluate in a cohort of eyes with emulsified silicone particles after removal of long-term SO tamponade.

Results: Nineteen eyes of the 19 patients with emulsified silicone particles detected in ophthalmoscopic exam were included in the study: 13 (68%) were male, and 6 (31.
