What is the reaction to the removal of silicone oil

After the removal of silicone oil from the vitreous cavity, blurred vision, photophobia and other discomforts may occur, and should be followed up and observed regularly as prescribed by the doctor. Blurred vision may occur after removal of silicone oil from the eyes, which is considered to be related to corneal edema after inner eye surgery, changes in the refractive state of the eyes, and the presence of fundus lesions that have not yet fully recovered. It may take some time to recover from the discomfort such as loss of vision, dryness of the eyes, photophobia and tearing. After retinal surgery to remove the silicone oil, it is recommended to do regular eye examination, follow the doctor’s instructions to take good care of the eyes and regular use of medication. During the recovery period, you should pay attention to the rest of the eyes, eat more food rich in vitamins and high quality protein such as various green leafy vegetables, carrots, eggs, etc., and avoid spicy and stimulating food.
