Measurement of axial length of eyes with incomplete filling of silicone oil in the vitreous cavity using x ray computed tomography

Aims: To establish a reliable method for measuring the axial length of the eye with incomplete filling of silicone oil in the vitreous cavity in order to determine the IOL power before executing combined cataract surgery and silicone oil removal. Methods: 12 eyes of 12 patients undergoing combined cataract extraction and silicone oil removal between October 1998 and June 2000 were entered prospectively into this study.
