Abstract
PURPOSE: To compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of silicone oil (SO)-filled foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) and SO endotamponade in vitrectomy for patients with no light perception after ocular trauma. METHODS: A total of 64 patients (64 eyes) with no light perception caused by severe ocular trauma were divided into FCVB and SO groups based on the surgical treatment. The main outcome measurements were retinal reattachment rate, intraocular pressure, best-corrected visual acuity, and number of operations. RESULTS: Both the FCVB group (29 eyes) and the SO group (35 eyes) showed significant improvement in postoperative best-corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure. The two groups showed no significant differences in final intraocular pressure and the retinal reattachment rate. The postoperative vision (≥LP) in the FCVB group was significantly worse than in the SO group (FCVB [4/29] vs. SO [18/35], P = 0.003). However, the number of surgeries in the FCVB group was significantly lower than in the SO group (FCVB [1.10] vs. SO [2.23], P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Vitrectomy combined with SO endotamponade shows better short-term improvement in the treatment of no light perception caused by severe ocular trauma. However, SO-filled FCVB can effectively prevent many complications caused by direct SO endotamponade, such as secondary surgeries or SO dependence.
