Retina detachement
My mother had undergone a retina detachment surgery and oil was used to settle the retina.
After resting for 3 months , doctor found that retina has been settled and they decided to go ahead with oil removal surgery.
Now it has been 2 months passed after oil removal surgery but mother could still see some oil bubble in her eye, However her vision is improved little bit after oil removal surgery but it is not same as before retina detachment problem.
Just want to know about oil bubble in eye , should we see doctor immediately? How long it would take vision to improve as it was before?

Usually few emulsified silicon oil bubbles be there in the front or the back part of the eye, as it is very difficult to remove them all. If they are significantly causing visual differences then you will need a re-evaluation and gonioscopy test to rule out any significant presence of bubbles in the angles of eye.
If they are causing rise in intra ocular pressure then , additional treatment needs to be started. Vision outcome is usually guarded after retinal detachment surgery.

Hello
Silicone oil bubbles may be there in eye
These may cause increase in intraocular pressure.
Recovery of vision depends on extent of retinal damage
Kindly consult local ophthalmologist and get proper eye examination done
