ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To describe a rare case of silicone oil emulsification which occurred only three months postoperatively. We discuss the implications for postoperative counseling.METHODS:
Retrospective chart review of a single patient.RESULTS:
39-year-old female who presented with a right eye macula-on retinal detachment which was repaired with scleral buckle, vitrectomy, and silicone oil tamponade. Her course was complicated by extensive silicone oil emulsification within 3 months postoperatively, most likely due to shear forces induced by her daily CrossFit exercise regimen.CONCLUSION:
Typical postoperative precautions after a retinal detachment repair include no heavy lifting or strenuous activity for one week. These restrictions may need to be more stringent and long-term for patients with silicone oil to prevent early emulsification.
