The aim of this work is to compare between two methods of silicone oil evacuation as regards the effect on corneal endothelium, the rate of recurrence of retinal detachment after silicone oil evacuation as well as other posterior segment complications and the presence of residual silicone oil droplets. It was noted that the corneal endothelium was affected more in group B in which silicone oil comes in contact with the corneal endothelium. The rate and the timing of retinal redetachment following surgery was not related to the method of silicone oil evacuation.
