scleral buckle post op
Hi, I had a 360 degree encircling band put in twelve weeks ago. The indent was to the left side of the eye. Recently I noticed that if there is slight pressure on the right corner of my eye I can see a slight shadow on the left side. Is this because of the band?

This is probably from the buckle. Although, it's natural to have this phenomenon even without a buckle.

I also have silicone oil in situ and have developed cataracts as a result. My surgeon wants to remove the oil soon.
