What to do about permanent red eye after scleral buckle surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Red eyes: After surgery is quite common. The blood vessels in the area tend to dilate to help with healing. There's really no way to get rid of these blood vessels because if you try to remove them, they will be replaced by other ones. Over a long period of time, they may become less prominent.

Had detached retina, fixed w scleral buckle 2014. Has been stable. A few days ago I fell and have a black eye - same eye. No pain/redness in the eye itself. Vision ok (not good in that eye anyway). No new flashers/floaters. Should I be concerned?
