Comparison of residual silicone oil index after removal of silicone oil with fluid-air versus oil-fluid exchange.

Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of fluid-air exchange with silicone oil-fluid exchange in reducing the residual silicone oil (SO) droplets after the removal of SO.

Methods: This was a prospective, quasi-experimental study conducted from October 2021 to February 2022 at Eye Unit-III, COAVS, Mayo Hospital, Lahore. Sixty-one patients with siliconized eyes underwent removal of SO with two different techniques and were divided into fluid-air exchange and oil-fluid exchange groups.

Clinical outcome of 23g Trans-Conjunctival pars plana vitrectomy - a prospective comparison of Phaco-Vitrectomy with only vitrectomy in phakic eyes.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of combined phacoemulsification with 23G pars plana vitrectomy when compared to pars plana vitrectomy alone in phakic patients.

Methods: This study was performed at Al-Ehsan Eye Hospital (tertiary care eye hospital in Lahore, Pakistan) from January 2016 to August 2016. A total of 40 eyes in two equal groups of 20 eyes each, were enrolled in this prospective study.
