Abstract
Purpose: to compare the reliability of axial eye length (AEL) measurement in silicone oil-filled phakic eyes by conventional B-scan ultrasonography through the eyelid, after a correcting factor,to partial coherence interferometry (PCI) measurement. Methods: a prospective and comparative study was performed at Al-Zahraa University Hospital clinic from (January 2016 - December 2016). In total 13 phakic eyes of 13 patients who underwent vitrectomy and silicone oil filling were enrolled into the study. AEL was measured by B-scan and compared to measurement by PCI. Results & Conclusions: there was no significant difference in AEL measurement by either B-scan ultrasonography through the eyelid, after a correcting factor, and PCI.
