Biometry in Eyes with Silicon Oil After PPV

Official title: Reliability of Optical and Ultrasound Biometry in Silicon Filled Eyes

Run by Sohag University · NCT07731984 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests optical and ultrasound biometry in people with retinal detachment who are getting pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil, to see how measurements compare before surgery and about a month after.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Patients with retinal detachment who are planned for pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade at Sohag University.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have had prior intraocular surgery, recurrent RD, or who undergo scleral buckle procedures may not see a benefit.

What this trial studies

This observational study will measure optical and ultrasound biometry in patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade, both before surgery and at 1 month postoperatively. Participants will be grouped into those who receive silicone oil tamponade alone and those undergoing phacovitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade. The goal is to assess how refraction measurements perform in these scenarios and how silicon oil affects biometry accuracy. Data will be collected from a single institution to evaluate measurement reliability in this specific setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians better predict refractive outcomes after PPV with silicone oil.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research in similar settings has explored biometry reliability, but this study focuses on silicon oil tamponade and includes a phacovitrectomy subgroup, making its findings particularly relevant.
