Abstract
The authors report a rare consequence of an anteriorly migrated encircling silicone band. The extruded encircling band, which "cheesewired" forward th rough the superior and medial rectus insertions straddled the cornea firmly and formed a corneal groove. Corneal groove is an extremely rare complicat ion of scleral buckling surgery.
