Abstract: Silicone oil, as a vitreous substitute, is widely applied to the surgical treatment of complicated vitreoretinal diseases. Although silicone oil is generally recognized for its safety and efficacy, its intraocular tamponade can cause various complications in the anterior and posterior segments of the eyes. With the emergence and application of Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT)and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography(OCTA)in recent years, retinochoroidal changes associated with silicone oil tamponade have been further studied. This review summarizes the changes in the blood flow and structure of the retina and choroid associated with silicone oil tamponade, which were detected by OCT and OCTA.

Key words: Silicone oils, Optical coherence tomography, Optical coherence tomography angiography, Retina, Choroid
