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.
