DEVELOPMENT OF OCULAR HYPERTENSION SECONDARY TO TAMPONADE WITH LIGHT VERSUS HEAVY SILICONE OIL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Development of ocular hypertension secondary to tamponade with light versus heavy silicone oil: A systematic review

Aim: The intraocular silicone oil (SO) tamponades used in the treatment of retinal detachment (RD) have been associated with a difference ocular hypertension (OH) rate.To clarify, if this complication was associated to use of standard SO (SSO) versus heavy SO (HSO), we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative study between two
