ObjectiveTo investigate the potential effect of hyperopia status on subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in silicone oil (SO)-filled eyes.MethodsThis self-comparative study was conducted in Department of Ophthalmology, Central Theater Command General Hospital. The 50 patients (100 eyes) were collected with unilateral macula-on rhegmatogenous retinal detachment from January 2019 to July 2019, who successfully underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and SO tamponade. Retinal reattachment was observed after surgery in all patients. One month after PPV, the affected eye was wore soft, contact lenses for 24 hours to correct refractive error (RE), depending on its optometry value. The SFCT of the affected eyes was measured using OCT before and after lenses wear. The fellow eyes also received OCT examination at the same time. T test was used to compare SFCT between SO-filled eyes and fellow eyes.ResultsThe mean RE of the SO-filled eyes was +6.38±1.12 D. The mean SFCT of SO-filled eyes (247.12±17.63 μm) was significantly thinner than that of the fellow eyes (276.32.55±17.63 μm) (P＜0.001). The SFCT of the SO-filled eyes was significantly thinner than fellow eyes, and the difference was statistically significant (t=－3.95, P＜0.001). After lenses wear, the mean SFCT of the SO-filled eyes increased to 276.32±24.86 μm. Compared with before lenses wear, the difference was statistically significant (t=－4.30, P＜0.001). Compared with the fellow eye, the difference was not statistically significant (t=0.05, P＞0.05).ConclusionSFCT reduction in the SO-filled eyes may be due to the hyperopia status caused by SO, which can be reserved by RE correction.
Purpose
To study the refractive state of silicone oil tamponade eyes.
Methods
To calculate the theoretical refractive state of eyes with silicone oil based on clinical visual optics and to perform retinoscopy on 48 silicone oil filled eyes with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and 45 ones with PPV plus lens ectomy with retinal reposition, and then study theoretical and experimental differences of diopter in silicone oil filled eyes.
Results
Postoperative diopter of the former increases (+6.26plusmn;1.20)D than preoperative diopter, while that of the latter is (+11.40plusmn;2.22)D.
Conclusion
Hyperopic changes are found in silicone oil tamponade eyes, and the experimental values are lower than the theoretical ones. This may be helpful in predicting the change of diopter of silicone oil tamponade eyes.

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.

Cataract combined with retinopathy can seriously affect the vision of patients. Vitrectomy combined with one-stage implantation of multi-focal intraocular lens (MIOL) has been paid more and more attention. The application of MIOL shows potential in improving the visual quality of patients, but its effect is affected by many factors, and refractive drift is a key problem to be solved. At present, the research mainly focuses on cataract patients with high myopia, and further research on other types of retinopathy is needed. In the future, multi-center, large-sample, long-term clinical studies and interdisciplinary cooperation are needed to optimize surgical and management programs to enhance the application effect of MIOL in the treatment of retinopathy and improve the quality of life of patients.
Objective To observe visual field outcome and refractive status of patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated by laser photocoagulation. Method The data of 39 ROP patients (73 eyes) who received laser photocoagulation were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 13 normal control subjects (25 eyes) whose age and sex were matched with ROP group. There were 24 males (45 eyes) and 15 females (28 eyes) in ROP group, with an average age of (7.0±1.28) years. The first laser treatment was carried out at postnatal age (PA) of (38.74±3.82) weeks, the birth weight (BW) of (1402.33±369.61) g and the number of laser burns was (517.86±277.40). The control group included 7 females (13 eyes) and 6 males (12 eyes), with an average age of (7.17±0.96) years. The age (t=0.691) and gender (χ2=1.425) were comparable between the two groups (P=0.491, 0.233). The data of patients and controls were retrospectively analyzed including best corrected visual acuity, refractive examination, automated perimetry test. The differences of the mean deviation (MD) of visual field and the spherical equivalent (SE) between these two groups were comparatively observed. ROP patients were divided into no VF loss group (MD≤2 dB) and VF loss group (MD＞2 dB), mild VF loss group (MD≤6 dB) and moderate VF loss group (MD＞6 dB) according to the results of automated perimetry test, the differences of gestational age (GA), PA, BW, number of laser burns and SE between these groups were comparatively observed. Results The MD in ROP group and control group were 4.87±5.12 dB and 1.27±3.34 dB, respectively; the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=–4.01,P＜0.001). The subgroup analysis showed that BW, number of laser burns, and SE were significantly different between no VF loss group and VF loss group (t=2.074, –1.996, –2.162;P=0.042, 0.026, 0.034); while the GA was not significantly different between these two groups (t=1.973,P=0.052). The difference of PA was not statistical significant different between mild VF loss group and moderate VF loss group (t=2.03,P=0.051) and SE was significantly different between the above two groups (t=3.283,P=0.002). For refractive outcomes, the BW and ROP stage correlated with SE significantly (r=–0.304, –0.387;P=0.015, 0.002). The mean BCVA in ROP group was 0.84±0.23, and 59 eyes (91.2%) with BCVA better than 0.5. Conclusion Laser treatment for ROP tends to have less effect on long term refractive status and VF loss, with good visual outcome.
