Abstract

Aim to analyse Peripapillary RNFL thickness following successful Pars Plana Vitrectomy surgery with silicone oil tamponade by using OCT ONH RNFL

Secondary objective: 1 comparison of RNFL thickness with the fellow eye. 2 To evaluate the RNFL changes during a follow-up period of 3 months. It was a prospective observational study with a sample size of 36 patients. Patients underwent OCT ONH RNFL cube analysis 1 week and 3 months post Silicon oil removal. Similar examinations were performed for the fellow eye. The mean RNFL thickness in the normal eye was 87.67+_11.67. The mean RNFL thickness of the RRD eye was 93.39+_9.34 at the 1-month postoperative visit and 94.64+_9.84 at the 3-month post-operative visit. There is an increase in RNFL thickness compared to the normal eye during 1 month and 3rd month visits. We could conclude that the peripapillary RNFL was significantly thicker in the RD eye post PPV using Silicon oil tamponade compared with fellow unoperated eyes.
