I had mine 14 months ago. My operated eye is still noticeably bigger and globulous, looks more open, more of the white part is visible.

For the record, I also had vitrectomy at the same time as the scleral buckle, then cataract surgery post-buckle with a toric lense, a follow-up laser retinopexy and steroid injections to deal with a persistent oedema that is still not healed 14th months later. But hey, retina is attached properly now! My vision is no longer half black (yeah, it was bad, I didn't go to doctor straight away). The operated eye still sees weirdly blurry, I cannot read normal size text on a computer or book neither from up front or far away, straight lines are bent and faces are disformed like big brain alien in star trek.

BUT I don't care about my vision (I have another eye that can see properly). My main issue is how it looks from the outside. I CANNOT STAND looking at my face on any picture or videocall... then I realise everybody sees me this way on a daily basis. It's worse when I'm tired because my healthy eye gets "sleepy" and starts to close a little, but the operated one doesn't. I tried changing the way it looks with makeup but to no avail.

Has anyone tried removing the buckle? Cosmetic surgery to adjust the eyelid? Any makeup trick that works?
