Abstract
Complications after six months, in a series of 44 aphakic eyes treated by vitrectomy and fluid/silicone-oil exchange with six o'clock (Ando) peripheral iridectomy, are reported. Comparisons are made with the complications after six months in a similar series treated prior to the introduction of the six o'clock iridectomy. It is concluded that a patent six o'clock iridectomy is effective in reducing the complications of intraocular silicone oil in the aphakic eye.
