Lifespan of the Sclarel Buckle

Lifespan of the Sclarel Buckle

Hello all!  Just wondering what the lifespan on a sclarel buckle is. I had one put in my right eye 10 years ago due to a retinal detachment.  Will it be good for li

fe or will I have to have it replaced??

I have severe myopia in both eyes but the one with the buckle is a few degrees worse.  In fact, it used to be my dominant eye, and has since become "lazy" and my left eye took over!

Thanks!!

Almost all scleral buckles outlive the people they're attached to.
