oil is used for your retinal detachment
eye
surgery. Remember, retinal
detachments are potentially blinding conditions and silicone oil is often
used for repeated detachments.
One major concern with every retinal detachment is whether
or not the macula becomes detached. The macula is the most sensitive part
of your retina. It provides central vision, reading ability, color
vision, etc. Filling an eye with silicone oil can be tricky. Eyes come in
all sizes and therefore require different volumes of oil.
