Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical efficacy of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) filled with either light or heavy silicone oil and the incidence of complications after their implantation for the treatment of severe ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent eyes. Methods: FCVB filled with either light (n = 16) or heavy (n = 8) silicone oil was implanted in 24 patients. During the 12-month follow-up period, the intraocular pressure, final best-corrected visual acuity, retinal reattachment condition, position of the FCVB, and complications were assessed. Results: All surgeries were performed without issue. There was no significant difference in preoperative and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity between the two groups. A significant improvement in the intraocular pressure was observed after surgery in both the light silicone oil (P = 0.029) and heavy silicone oil (P = 0.035) groups. None of the patients developed displacement or prolapse of the FCVB. The most common early and late postoperative complications were postoperative hemorrhage (33.3%) and corneal opacification (50%), respectively. Conclusions: FCVB filled with heavy silicone oil can be used as a supplemental therapy for patients who have lost the anterior segment of their eye, have lesions of the inferior retina, or cannot maintain the prone position for various reasons. Translational Relevance: Implantation of FCVB combined with heavy silicone oil compensates for the shortcomi...
