Effect of shorter silicone oil tamponade time on visual function recovery and associated factors in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

Key Points

• Visual function recovery is enhanced with shorter silicone oil tamponade periods, leading to better outcomes.
• A significant improvement in visual acuity was observed in 30% of patients within three months post-treatment.
• Observational analysis across multiple clinics assessed recovery metrics of patients affected by retinal detachment using silicone oil.
• These findings highlight the potential for optimizing treatment durations to improve patient recovery times in retinal surgeries.
