Persistent Air Bubble Sequestered at the Silicone Oil-Silicone Intraocular Lens Interface as a Cause of Reversible Visual Distortion.

Silicone oil adhesion to the posterior surface of silicone IOLs is a known cause of visual degradation. The IOL-silicone oil interface can sequester air that persists and causes visual distortion until the oil is removed. We report the first cases, to our knowledge, of reversible visual distortion due to sequestered air at the IOL-silicone oil interface.
