Objective To evaluate glaucoma and anterior chamber angle changes after intravitreal silicone oil injection(SOI). Methods The intraocular pressure(IOP) and anterior chamber angles of 34 e yes(33 patients)undergone pars plana vitrectomy and SOI were observed. Results Glaucoma occurred in 9 eyes(26%),in which silicone oil glaucoma(SOG) accounted for 77%(7/9).The changes of the superior part of anterior chamber angle were peripheral anterior synechiae in 11 eye(32%) and SO emulsification droplets in 22 eyes(64%) in 1～4.5 months after surgeries.Glaucoma occurred in 6 eyes of 7 eyes undergone peripheral iridectomy at the inferio r part of the iris after the closure of iridectomy holes (p lt;0.05). Conclusion High incidence of glaucoma was found in this series of patients after intravitreal silicone oil injection,and the main causes of SOG were closure of the inferior iridecomy hole and silicone emulsification. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:105-107)
