Objective To observe the effect of preservation of an terior lens capsule on the incidence of complications associated with silicone oil. Methods Eighty-two patients(82 eyes)accepted trans pars plana vitrectomy combined with lensectomy,30 eyes with preservation of an terior lens capsule (PAC) and 52 eyes with no preservation of anterior capsule(N PAC)were observed.The incidence of complications was analysed to investigate whe ther PAC could reduce the complications associated with the usage of tamponade of silicone oil. Results The incidence was 50.0% in NP AC group,and 23.3% in PAC group(0.010 lt; P lt; 0.025).There were secondary glaucoma(21.1%),band keratopathy(13.5%)and corneal decompensation(9.6%)in NPAC group,while there was none of them in PAC group. Conclusion Preservation of anterior lens capsule is an effective measure to reduce the complicaltons associated with the tamponade of silicone oil. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:41-43)
