Preliminary clinical practice in implantation of foldable capsular vitreous body / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

ABSTRACT

·AIM: To evaluate the effects of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) implantation on the treatment of severe ocular trauma and late silicone oil-dependent eyes due to severe ocular trauma and recurrent retinal detachment. · METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the four patients (four eyes) with FCVB implantation at our hospital since November 2017. Out of these 4 patients,2 were males and 2 were females, with an average age of 31.5 years and an average intraocular pressure (IOP) of 5.6mmHg pre-operatively. Among those 4 eyes,3 eyes underwent silicone oil tamponade due to severe ocular trauma and the other one was recurrent retinal detachment in silicone oil - filled eye. Standard pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) was performed, and the FCVB was triple folded and implanted in the vitreous cavity of four eyes. The retinal was assessed, as well as visual acuity,IOP, FCVB condition before and after treatment, and applied therapy. ·RESULTS: All of those 4 eyes underwent successfully implantation of FCVB, which remained its proper position. During 1-3mo follow-up, the mean visual acuity was no different compared with pre - operative values.
