Silicone oil tamponade has become a standard technique for repair of complex retinal detachments (RDs) with giant retinal tears, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), viral retinitis and ocular trauma. It is considered a better internal tamponade than sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) in eyes with advanced PVR, both for anatomic and functional success.
