Ultrawide field imaging and sonography of a radial buckle

Description

A 78-year-old male presented with blurring of vision in right eye (RE) since 2 months. He was diagnosed to have retinal detachment in RE 27 years ago, which had been successfully repaired with scleral buckling surgery. Retinal holes had been treated with laser prophylaxis in left eye (LE). On examination, visual acuity was 6/24 in RE and 6/9 in LE. Both eyes had posterior subcapsular cataract (RE>LE). The retina was attached in RE, while features of high myopia, like fundus tessellation and peripapillary crescent, were evident. Indent of a radial explant was noticeable in the inferior nasal quadrant along with indent of an encirclage band (figure 1). Lattice degeneration and adequately lasered retinal lesions were seen in both eyes. The posteriorly placed radial explant was noted as a raised and hyperechoic structure with corresponding acoustic shadow on ultrasound B scan of RE (figure 2)....
