Ocular Hypotony and Refractive Predictability in RRD Surgery
Sponsor: Kazakh Eye Research Institute
Summary
This study evaluates how preoperative ocular hypotony (Goldmann IOP ≤ 7 mmHg) affects refractive predictability, axial length measurements, and visual outcomes in patients undergoing combined phacovitrectomy with silicone oil for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Interventions
Combined Phacovitrectomy with Intraocular Lens Implantation and Silicone Oil Tamponade
Standardized single-stage clear corneal phacoemulsification with IOL implantation is combined with three-port 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy, fluid-air exchange, endolaser photocoagulation, and silicone oil tamponade for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. After cataract extraction and IOL placement, pars plana vitrectomy is performed with fluid-air exchange to reattach the retina, endolaser photocoagulation around retinal breaks, and tamponade with silicone oil.
Silicone Oil Removal
Silicone oil removal is performed approximately 3 months after the initial combined phacovitrectomy. Three-port 25-gauge pars plana access and pressure-controlled fluid-silicone exchange with balanced salt solution to completely remove silicone oil from the vitreous cavity. At the end of surgery, sclerotomies are sutured.
