This 55 year-old woman with poorly controlled diabetic mellitus underwent
right vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade for tractional retinal
detachment one week ago. The anterior chamber showed the presence of a
silicone droplet which had escaped from the vitreous cavity. The intraocular
pressure was normal.
A single droplet of silicone oil in the anterior chamber.
Close-up view of the droplet showed it
to be held between the lens and the cornea.
