The influence of silicone oil on the ganglion cell complex after pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

CONCLUSION: This is the first in vivo SD-OCT study describing the toxic effect of silicone oil endotamponade on GCL-IPL complex after PPV for RRD. The study confirmed that GCL-IPL complex value can be a predictive factor for assessing the final visual acuity. SD-OCT should be recommended as a clinical standard in the follow-up treatment of patients after PPV for RRD, especially with the use of silicone oil endotamponade.
