In the realm of ophthalmic surgeries, silicone oil is often utilized as a tamponade agent for repairing retinal detachments, but it necessitates subsequent removal. This study harnesses the power of machine learning to analyze the macular and optic disc perfusion changes pre and post-silicone oil removal, using Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) data. Building upon the foundational work of prior research, our investigation employs Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to create predictive models based on OCTA scans.
