Abstract

PURPOSE: To analyze the independent risk factors associated with early emulsification in rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRDs) and determine the association between suboptimal fill of silicone oil (SO) and the onset of early emulsification. DESIGN: Retrospective observational cohort study. METHODS: Single-center (institutional) study. Electronic medical records of 81 eyes (81 patients) with RRD undergoing pars-plana vitrectomy with SO injection (from July 2020 to June 2021) were evaluated. Eyes with
