    Abstract:
    Silicone oil removal was performed on 32 eyes of 31 cases after silicone oil injection for an average of 13.9 months. The reasons for the silicone oil removal are the complications such as cataract, glaucoma, emulsification of the silicone oil and so on. Complete retinal reattachment without any complications was found in 6 eyes of the 32 cases. Retinal reattachment remained in place in 24 eyes after the removal, and 24 eyes achieved postoperative visual acuities > or = 0.02. After the removal, in 7 of 8 eyes with complication, retinal detachment reoccurred. The significance and the timing of the silicone oil removal were discussed in this paper.
