Silicone Oil or Gas Tamponade to Treat Macular Hole?
April 3, 2012
I have a macular hole.
Large full thickness, 700 microns, extensive surrounding subretinal fluid, yellow deposits on RPE within hole, mild epiretinal membrane.
My question is would you recommend gas or silicone oil to treat the macular hole?
