Abstract
Axial length measurement for IOL power calculation is troublesomein silicone-oil injected eyes. The sound velocity of silicone-oil is necessaryfor axial length calculation in such eyes. Using a specially designedchamber the velocity of our clinically used silicone-oil at 38 °C was measuredto be 964 m/s. It was almost two thirds of that of saline solution. In clinicalcases the result was applicable. Axial length in the silicone-oil injected eyeis to be corrected for sound velocity of silicone-oil for the vitreous compartment.
