    Author: Osman Saatci A, Durak I, Tongal S, Ergin M.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg Lasers; 1998 Dec; 29(12):991-2. PubMed ID: 9854710.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a rare consequence of an anteriorly migrated encircling silicone band. The extruded encircling band, which "cheesewired" forward through the superior and medical rectus insertions straddled the cornea firmly and formed a corneal groove. Corneal groove is an extremely rare complication of scleral buckling surgery.
