[Clinical application and observation of silicone oil in complicated retinal detachment]

Nine eyes with complicated retinal detachment underwent vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponate among whom there were seven eyes with PVRC3-PVRD2, one eye with giant retina tear and PVRD3 and one eye with giant retina tear. All the eyes were followed-up for an average of 12.6 months with a range from 2 to 23 months. Retina were completely reattached in there eyes. Vision were improved in six eyes. Retina was redetached in one eye after removal of silicone oil. Silicone oil tamponate can be used in complicated retinal detachment that fails to respond to conventional method. However, silicone oil tamponate may cause a number of complications, so its indications should be properly taken care of.
