Our study observes and analyses the influence of the duration of tamponade with silicone oil on the foveal and parafoveal thickness.
Retrospective Cohort study Retrospective review of records of eyes with Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment (RRD, for whom pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil had been performed, in the period between January 2019 and December 2021. After checking inclusion and exclusion criteria; we will enroll all the cases. We shall observe the duration of silicone oil tamponade, and then divide the cases; accordingly; into 2 groups (Cohort). * Group A: 3 months SO Tamponade * Group B: 6 months SO Tamponade
