    Description
    65-year-old woman s/p scleral buckle 14 years ago. Two weeks later, the retina re-detached, and vitrectomy, laser, and silicone oil procedure was performed.

The cornea is clear, there is no oil emulsification, and there is a stable, moderately inferiorly subluxated PCIOL (as it was prior to RD surgery). IOP is 17 on Cosopt BID.
