Silicone oil bubble inside the eye

Animated video explaining the use of silicone oil inside the eye.

[@user-pd1ki2hx7h]

Hi. I have a silicone oil in my right eye. My eye doctor has no plan of removing it. Is that okay?

[@victorsuntal4198]

Please do read my concern.. how long does it take for the to heal after oil removal and cataract surgery

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

Typically we give 1 month worth of drops, and advise 1 week off work.

0:39 - The video was released two years ago. I'm wondering if attitudes towards residual silicone bubbles have changed by now - I mean, do surgeons commonly perform surgery to remove the silicone floaters, or is it still considered unnecessarily risky? For example, I still have a suspension of small bubbles in my eye - 8 months have already passed, and I really hope to somehow get rid of them.

[@akshayprajapati6633]

Hou much bubble you see right now?? Is it too much to impact your daily life?

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

They can be washed out multiple times, it is low risk, 1:1000 of infection / loss of sight. However many times they are washed out there will always be some left behind, but hopefully less than before.

One drop crude oil effect my eyes continuesly 5 days delivered tear in one eye what i do sir pls reply

[@ronnietabones7395]

Hi, so basically I would have another surgery if I have a silicon oil in my eyes or else it will trigger into glaucoma or permanently blindness. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

Having silicone oil inside your eye massively increases your likelihood of glaucoma. It is not a certainty. Also, glaucoma does not mean blindness, if it is caught early and treated then loss of vision can be prevented.

Hi! After having a full detachment retina and I had surgery as this with the silicone oil treatment and 3 months ago the surgeon told me that it was looking good, yet 4 months later (3 days ago) the surgeon told me that unfortunately the bottom of the retina had detached a bit and it would be best to do surgery again and fix the retina and he’d leave the silicone plug or oil(whatever) in there to hold it permanently and forever. What is your opinion on this. The surgeon had told me originally that if the retina would detach that he’d do the surgery again and wait another 7-8 months and see if the second surgery would hold? Now he’s telling me that I’ve got too much pressure in my eye and that it would be best to just do a permanent surgery type and leave the silicone in there forever?🥵What do you suggest or think. I’m going to the surgery this Tuesday morning at 6 am. The 3rd of Oct, 2023.

Hi, we try not to leave oil inside the eye, it is quite toxic long-term, and is best removed. Usually if the retina redetaches under oil then the retinal scarring is cut away and the oil replaced for a further 3+ months. After this we remove it. We would leave oil inside the eye if the eye pressure is very low (less than 5mmHg) to hold the shape of the eye.

[@Andra1150]

0:39 - one more thing: can't the resudual floaters (I mean the small silicon bubbles) somehow dissolve or be "eaten" by immune cells or something?

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

Unfortunately not. It is a bit like pigment in a tattoo, permanent unless removed.

Can I travel by air with calico oil inside eye.since 2 years it is in Eye with no trouble

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

It is safe to fly with oil in the eye. You can not fly only in the weeks after surgery if gas inside the eye.

Hi doctor. I recently got my silicone oil removed about 3 days ago but my eye is very blurry. Is this a normal thing after surgery?

[@akshayprajapati6633]

Can you sew oil bubbles after removal??

[@gabby1157]

@akshayprajapati6633 Yes. It's been 4 months since my silicone oil removal, but my vision is still blurry, and there is a small bubbles floating around.

Vision with silicon oil will be 100% or not?

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

Silicone oil is clear but changes your glasses prescription. Assuming there is no cataract then glasses should be able to full correct your vision.

[@akshayprajapati6633]

​@@eyesurgeryltd9392and after its removal we can almost back to prior state of priscription?

[@professionalhunter4789]

Sir Eye Surgeon removes selicon oil but still some oil jn my eye that why i feel not good vision advise is requested

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

There is always some oil bubbles, even microscopic ones, inside the eye after oil is removed. These do not usually affect the vision. The vision is usually affected by the retina and how much the central retina (macula) is damaged.

[@akshayprajapati6633]

Can you see oil bubbles after so removed?

[@jamesromano3288]

Why are colors dull ....I am 1 month out from my RD surgery,,,,,and still is blurry.....50% gas bubble

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

A retinal detachment will cause some damage to the retina. I hope that your vision fully recovers, but sometimes, depending on the severity of damage the vision may never be fully normal.

[@exposingproxystalkingorgan4164]

Gas bubble is much more convenient than oil bubble.

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

Yes, because it does not require a second operation to remove it, like oil!

[@jackiematsumura2649]

I had to choose silicone oil- I live on Kaua’i but surgery is only available on Oahu. Only way home is by flying. Too bad we don’t have inter island ferries.

So I get this to fix my vision but risk loss of vision with the procedure. Seems legit

[@eyesurgeryltd9392]

Often without surgery the eye will be blinded. The operation will prevent this. But, surgery itself is not without risks, and you can be blinded by complications from surgery too.

[@nimfacagnaan4516]

has gas bubble lesser risk of glaucoma?

[@nikovz4719]

@@nimfacagnaan4516 not sure would recommend to check with your doctor. Coming off the surgery. It was interesting. Healing good now but my sight seems just like before. I guess just not going blind would be the good thing although I do have a lazy eye now :|
