Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to assess and compare the retinal toxicity associated with silicone oil (SO) and perfluoropropane (C3F8) tamponade following vitreoretinal surgery for fresh rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), utilizing the office-based Diopsys® NOVA™ system for evaluation.
Methods: Patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery for fresh RRD and had SO (group 1) or C3F8 (group 2) tamponade were included in a prospective analysis. Flicker full field electroretinography (ffERG) and pattern electroretinography (PERG) tests were performed at 6 months postoperatively.
Results: Postoperative best corrected visual acuity (logMAR) was significantly different in group 1 and group 2 patients, 0.48 ± 0.3 and 0.30 ± 0.2, respectively. No significant disparities were found in demographic variables. Flicker ffERG and PERG recordings revealed notable alterations in retinal function parameters in the group 1 compared to the group 2.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest a correlation between SO tamponade and retinal dysfunction, evidenced by office-based ERG measurements. The Diopsys® NOVA™ protocol offers clinical ease in assessing retinal function. Further controlled studies are essential to validate these findings and guide clinical practice effectively.
