Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the retinal redetachment rates with 1000 centistoke versus 5000 centistoke silicone oil tamponade for repair of complex retinal detachments.
Detailed Description
As part of retinal detachment surgery, the eye is typically filled with a gas bubble or silicone oil bubble. This bubble acts like a balloon inside the eye and helps to keep the retina pushed back aga...
