I've had multiple eye surgeries including gas tamponade for retinal detachment 14 years ago and cataract surgery last year. Recently had silicon oil removal but my retina detached again. Now dealing with CNVM and silicon oil still in place. What's the safest way to remove the silicon oil without causing another retinal detachment? My vision is completely gone in that eye and I'm really worried about further complications

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I have intermittent exotropia in both eyes where one eye turns out every 1-2 minutes, sometimes left and sometimes right. A squint specialist recommended surgery as the only option, suggesting a 2-muscle procedure on just one eye. He said the brain would adjust and prevent the other eye from turning out afterward. Is this approach correct? He's a pediatric ophthalmologist with 16 years of experience, but I'm unsure about only operating on one eye when both are affected. Does this sound like the right plan?
Yes he is right. As our eyes should work simultaneously. So if we do surgery on one eye, the effect will be total for both eyes. It's not like that if your right eye is going out means we have to operate that eye only . On examination, whatever the non dominant eye will be operated. And some exercises will be needed after surgery to maintain
