Demographic characteristics and pre-operative examination of eyes including Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), indirect ophthalmoscopy, gonioscopy and ultrasonography (in cases where fundus was not visible) were performed. All the patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP). Silicone oil was used as tamponade. Post-operative follow up was at first week after surgery and repeated at 3rd month and 6th month. Effect of silicon oil tamponade on re-bleeding after surgery was specifically observed. Anatomical outcome and side effects were also noted during the study period.\u0000Results: Out of 42 cases, re-bleed occurred in 2 cases (4.76 %).
