    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Retinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Scleral buckles are used to repair retinal detachments.
    • Late complications can occur years after retinal detachment surgery.

    Observation:

    • A 72-year-old male presented with an incidentally discovered intruded scleral buckle.
    • The lesion was located in the superotemporal retinal periphery.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via B-scan ultrasonography and external ocular examination.

    Findings:

    • The intruded scleral buckle was noted 30 years post-retinal detachment repair.
    • Conservative management was initiated for the patient.
    • No clinical changes were observed during a 12-month follow-up period.

    Implications:

  • This case highlights the possibility of late-onset complications from scleral buckle use.
  • Long-term monitoring may be necessary for patients with retinal detachment repair.
  • Conservative management can be effective for asymptomatic intruded scleral buckles.
