You may qualify if…

• Presence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment or tractional retinal detachment due to grade C or worse proliferative vitreoretinopathy or proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
• Judgment by the investigator that silicone oil tamponade is surgically indicated for appropriate repair of the complex retinal detachment.
• Visual acuity of light perception or better.
• Ability to provide written informed consent and comply with study assessments for the full duration of the study.

You may not qualify if…

• Inability to re-attach the retina at the time of surgery.
• Prior trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery.
• Corneal opacity which limits visualization of the trabecular meshwork.
