RETINA SURGERY
My grandmothers retina got detached,for which she was operated upon.Silicon Oil was used in the eye...Later cataract developed in the same eye..Now the oil has seeped out...so does she have to go through the same oil treatement surgery or are they're alteranatives?
Are there any side effects or any less known drawbacks which could happen?Failure rate?
