Objective To verify the changes of optics and refraction of the eyes after retinal detachment surgery with the tamponade of silicone oil in vitreous cavity. Methods The optical calculation was taken as the following by using the parameter of Gullstrand model eye:(1)The refraction of silicone filled eye in non-accommodative status;(2)The refraction of silicone filled eye in non-accommodative status;(3)The aniseikonia analysis when one eye filled with the silicone oil;(4)The IOL power re-calculation. Results (1) Compa red with the normal eye,the eye filled with silicone oil is moved toward high hyperopia of +9.19 D;(2)When corrected,the accommodation amplitude reduced 1.42 D induced by filling silicone oil. Conclusion When eye filled with silicone oil,the change of refractive power tends to be highly hyperopic,the amplitude of accommodation decreased,and the regular IOL power calculation formula is no longer available.
