Abstract
The use of silicone oil in vitreal surgery for complicated proliferated diabetic retinopathy contributes a hemostatic and plugging effect, but it still has a number of disadvantages such as the need to remove it and its own side effects. It can be beneficial in cases of rubeosis or recurrent hemorrhage. However, it is essentially indicated in recurrent hemorrhage in monophthalmos patients.
