What is the purpose of scleral buckling?
Scleral buckling is used to reattach the retina if the break is very large or if the tear is in one location. It is also used to seal breaks in the retina.
What is an alternative to scleral buckling?
pneumatic retinopexy, which is used when the tear is located in the upper portion of the eye
What aftercare for patients undergoing scleral buckling is recommended?
patients will use dilating, antibiotic or corticosteroid eye drops for up to six weeks to decrease inflammation and the chance of infection
What is scleral buckling?
Scleral buckling is a surgical procedure used to treat retinal detachment. It involves sewing a piece of silicone material to the sclera (white of the eye) to provide support and reduce tension on the retina, helping it reattach to the back of the eye. This procedure is often combined with other techniques to stabilize the retina and restore vision.
What procedure is involved in scleral buckling?
The surgeon makes two incisions into the sclera, one for a light probe and the other for instruments to cut and aspirate. The surgeon uses a tiny, guillotine-like device to remove the vitreous,

What is scleral jaundice?
Scleral jaundice, also known as scleral icterus, is the yellowing of the sclera (the white part of the eyes) due to an elevated level of bilirubin in the blood. This condition often indicates liver dysfunction, obstruction of the bile ducts, or hemolysis, where red blood cells are broken down at an increased rate. The yellow pigmentation occurs because bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown, accumulates when the body cannot effectively process or excrete it. Scleral jaundice is typically a sign of an underlying health issue that may require medical evaluation and treatment.
What did Kevin tuohy invent?
Developed the first corneal contact lens that became a practical device for correction of refractive errors and which could be worn by larger number of patients, for long periods of time. In1946 his technician cut, by error, a scleral lens in two at the transition zone between the scleral and optical section
Drains into the scleral venous sinus?
Aqueous humor drains into the scleral venous sinus, also known as the canal of Schlemm. This drainage pathway helps maintain intraocular pressure by allowing fluid to exit the eye. A blockage in this drainage system can lead to increased pressure inside the eye, known as glaucoma.
