Abstract
Case Report
The silicone oil is widely used as an intraocular tamponade after vitrectomy but its complications were frequently found in postoperative period. The cataract was one of the most common complications in the eyes filled with silicone oil. The cataract in the eyes filled with silicone oil can be removed with either the intracapsular or the extracapsular-extraction technique. But these surgical techniques have two major problems: posterior capsular fibrosis and intraoperative loss of silicone oil. We report two cases of complicated cataract in the eyes filled with silicone oil which those were successfully performed by lens aspiration or extracapsular cataract extraction with large posterior continuous circular capsulorhexis and basal iridectomy without any loss of silicone oil under the continuous positive pressure achieved with an anterior chamber maintainer such as healon and balaneed salt solution.
