Retinal detachment is one of the leading causes for permanent vision loss.Incidence of Rheugmatogenous Retinal Detachment (RRD) about 10.5 people per 100,000 population pars plana vitrectomy is the most popular and effective surgical options.
Tamponade agents as silicone oils are used to restore intraocular volume and apply surface tension to the detached retinal surface Silicone oil (SO) is a liquid containing polymerized siloxane with organic side chains. It has a high thermal stability, is hydrophobic, and chemically inert. The use of silicone oils as intraocular tamponades dates from 1962.
Retinal detachment is one of the leading causes for permanent vision loss.Incidence of Rheugmatogenous Retinal Detachment (RRD) about 10.5 people per 100,000 population pars plana vitrectomy is the most popular and effective surgical options.
Today, implanting silicone oil as a long-term tamponade is widespread and accepted. However, the oil can emulsify at the interface with its hydrophilic intraocular environment. Eyes treated with silicone oil that emulsifies can show up to 72% long-term complications, including corneal decompensation, band keratopathy, chronic elevations of intraocular pressure, opacification of the crystalline lens, retinopathies, and optic neuropathy.
Silicone oil floats in the vitreous cavity because the specific gravity is 0.97; its bubbles' surface tension may change after injection into the eye. Higher viscosity silicone oils have less emulsification.
In the vitreous cavity, buoyancy and gravity operate on an intraocular tamponade agent that presses against the retina as a downward force. Moreover, interfacial tension is the interaction between two immiscible chemicals, such silicone oil and aqueous humor.silicone oils have viscosities ranging from one thousand (MW 37 kDa) to five thousand (MW 65 kDa).
Multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) is an investigation that can simultaneously measure multiple electroretinographic responses at different retinal locations. mfERG allows topographic mapping of retinal function in the central 40-50° of the retina. The strength of mfERG lies in its ability to provide objective assessment of the central retinal function at different retinal areas within a short duration of time.The mfERG is taken under conditions of light adaptation in order to obtain an electrophysiological response from the cones.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Effect of Silicon Oil on Retinal Functions after Viterectomy | Experimental | About the 50 patients suffering from Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detatchment. All participants will undergo Viterectomy then the Retinal Functions will be evaluated by using Silicon oil tamponade recorded by Multi focal electroretinogram before and after the operation. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multi focal electroretinogram | Device | to evaluat the effect of silicon oil on retinal function in the eyes that underwent Pars Plana Vitrectomy with Silicon oil tamponade for Rheugmatogenous Retinal Detachment. mfERG responses were recorded before and after Silicon oil removal . |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Retinal Functions after vitrectomy | Evaluation of the Function of the Eye Retina after Vitrectomy for all the participants | 1 Month to 3 Months |
| Electroretinogram Examination after vitrectomy | Electroretinogram examination which performed for all eyes after the vitrectomy as:When the light hits the eye, the photoreceptors (rods and cones) and other retinal cells generate small electrical impulses. The Electroretinogram captures and graphs these impulses to evaluate if these cells are functioning normally or not. | 1 Month to 3 Months |
