You do know the problem with the oil is they have to do a second
procedure to remove it at a later time?

Make an appointment with one of the retina docs there (pick one), tell
them your concerns and ask him which of them is best at treating your
particular problem.

Thank you Anon. I did make an appointment with one the Retina Doc's August
21 and will go from there. Yes I do know that the oil does require a second
surgery but because I had that six level cervical fusion in May, I just
don't think I could do that face down position.
I do know that my Retina Doc here said that he had to redo all his surgeries
that he had used the oil so now he just does not do it.
