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 …

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 …

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