Scleral buckle Removal

2018-09-14 12:25:14
Sir, I had a scleral buckle surgery about 3 years ago. My retina is completely attached and vision restored at 100% level but I have gone very myopic in my operated eye which is around - 11 glass prescription. My other eye power is - 6. There is a huge gap between two eyes. I have managed with the power changes as my brain as learnt to adjust such differences but I want to know if removal of buckle could reduce my myopia and whether is there any risk involve and time usually taken for removal surgery???

Instead of getting the bicycle removed .You may consider contact lens.

Hello I would not advise buckle removal as that will increase risk for retinal detachment
