During nuclear removal, Dr. Jones perceives a tear in the posterior capsule and the forward presentation of silicone oil in an eye with a history of retinal detachment. By injecting additional Viscoat, he is able to compartmentalize the eye, complete cortical cleanup, and position an IOL in the sulcus.

This surgery was 6 yrs ago now. The SO had been in for several months and the dense cataract prevented thorough exam of peripheral retina. Primary goal was cat removal for better exam and vision. Can't recall exactly but at least 3 tubes of Viscoat used. No SO migrated forward as optic capture of IOL was achieved. IOP from anterior OVD managed with oral and topical meds. Posterior OVD non-issue. VR surgeon elected no further surgery.

dear sir, would lke to know the status in POP period. no SO came later in AC. also elaborate a bit on history whether this SO coming to AC intraOP was residual SO of previous SOR or SOR was never done before this surgery. the amount of viscoat put to replace SO, how was it taken care of. in POP, didn't it come to AC causing high IOP. i am sure you didn't try to remove to invite SO again to AC. so it was combination of SO+viscoat+BSS in vit cavity?

should have combined SOR with phaco if retina was stable and PC tear happened, rather than pushing so much of viscoat in vit cavity.
