Silicone sponge intrusion after scleral buckling surgery followed by vitrectomy for retinal detachment

Background: This study reports a case of silicone sponge intrusion as late complication scleral buckling surgery. Case presentation: A 57-year-old man underwent surgery 19 years ago due to retinal detachment his left eye. Visual acuity impairment eye was noted. His best-corrected visual (BCVA) 20/80 (logMAR 0.6). Intraocular lens-capsular bag-capsular tension ring luxation with implant extrusion observed in the inferior nasal quadrant. The patient pars plana vitrectomy retropupillary iris-claw lens implantation. BCVA improved 20/20. Conclusion: Although is rare procedures, it may lead serious complications. intruding be intact unless there significant threat integrity ocular structures. Manipulation encircling band or buckle does not necessarily alter status retina.
