Eye oil removal, which is actually silicone oil removal, is generally referred to as silicone oil removal and is a routine procedure in vitreoretinal surgery. It is not certain how long to rest after the removal of silicone oil, depending on the individual’s recovery situation, it is generally recommended to rest for 2 to 3 weeks. In silicone oil removal surgery, the vitreous body needs to be cut, and it takes time for the wound to recover, and the silicone oil in the eye will affect the intraocular pressure, and it will take some time for the intraocular pressure to restore the balance after the removal, so after the silicone oil removal surgery, it is normal to need to rest for about 2 to 3 weeks before returning to normal life. However, if complications such as low intraocular pressure and vitreous rebleeding occur after silicone oil removal surgery, not only do you need to extend the rest time, but the exact time also depends on the recovery of the eye.
