Silicone Oil for the management of complicated retinal
detachments was introduced by Cibis and associates . Its
clinical use was later prohibited in the United States because of
significant post-operative complications. Experimental
studies indicated that silicone oil might be retino toxic.
Scott 2 in Cambridge, for many years continued to advocate
the use of Silicone Oil and he slowly convinced retinal surgeons
that there might be a place for Silicone Oil in detachment
s u r g e r y . Because of a better understanding of vltreoretinal
abnormalities and improved surgical techniques, the use of
Silicone Oil is now being re-evaluated in many centres including
the United States.
