Hello
It seems from the history that you are having dimunition of vision following retinal detachment surgery with silicone oil.
The decreased vision because of refractive errors can be restored by glasses. In your case since it is following retinal detachment surgery, you need to wait till the silicone oil is removed for improvement in vision.
Thank you
