Silicone oils are important tools in vitreoretinal surgery because they have the ability to
displace aqueous humor from the retinal surface, maintaining the adhesion between retina …

Silicone oil (SO) has been used as a long‐term tamponade agent in the treatment of
complicated vitreoretinal diseases for about half a century, during which time many …

Background: Chronically abnormal intraocular pressure (IOP) may follow surgery for
proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), using either long-acting gas or silicone oil tamponade …

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to report anatomic and visual acuity outcomes and
complications after 1000centistoke silicone oil was used as a retinal tamponade for the …

Landmarks in the development of treatment of retinal detachment include the recognition of
the significance of retinal breaks that resulted in the distinction between rhegmatogenous …

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) remains a difficult management problem despite
advances in vitreoretinal surgery. There is still a significant incidence of PVR in …

Background: The Silicone Study evaluated the outcomes of vitreoretinal surgery for retinal
detachment with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Objective: To evaluate short-term (up …
