چکیده
Results: Th e mean age of the patients was 56.3 years (range: 22-73). Overall, the mean preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 20/800, and the fi nal mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity at the 12-month visit was 20/160. Th e overall rate of eyes having an increased best-corrected visual acuity was 75.4% at month 12. Subconjunctival haemorrhage was observed in 7 eyes (13.2%), move of trocar in 4 eyes (7.5%), and fl uid leakage to conjunctival entry sites in 2 eyes (3.7%). Postoperative complications included cataract formation in 8 of 31 eyes (25.8%), elevated intraocular pressure in 8 eyes (15.1%), hypotonia in 4 eyes (7.5%), subconjunctival bleb of silicone oil in 1 of 15 eyes (6.6%), and conjunctival irritation in 2 eyes (3.7%).
