A 40-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with white reflex in the right eye. The patient had undergone vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade 2 years back for an old retinal detachment and was lost to follow-up because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The whole of anterior chamber was filled with emulsified silicone oil [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b and resembled white “Cue ball.” Intraocular pressure was 40 mmHg. The patient was advised topical timolol and brimonidine drops and silicone oil removal. The excessive emulsification could be a result of prolonged retention and impurities in the silicone oil.[1] | Figure 1: Diffuse (a) and slit-beam illumination (b) pictures of anterior chamber showing complete fill of emulsified silicone oil mimicking “Cue ball”
