What is Scleral Buckling

Scleral Buckling is a type of surgery used to repair a retinal detachment.Scleral Buckling is a minimally-invasive, outpatient procedure, usually lasting between one and two hours.

During the procedure, a small band or buckle is placed around the eye, pressing the sclera (the white outer wall of the eye) towards the inside of the eye.The buckle helps to close any breaks in the retina, which can allow fluid to accumulate and cause a detachment.

The buckle is tied around the eye and held in place with tiny absorbable stitches, which will eventually dissolve.In some cases, a gas bubble is also injected into the eye, to provide additional support and help the retina reattach.

After the procedure, the eye may be patched for a few days, and the patient will need to wear an eye shield at night for several weeks.Scleral Buckling is successful in most cases, but it is important to follow up with your doctor to ensure the retina has reattached.

Causes of Scleral Buckling

Retinal Detachment: Scleral buckling is used to repair a retinal detachment by applying pressure to the sclera to close any breaks in the retina.
Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR): PVR is a condition in which fibrous tissue grows on the retina, causing it to detach from the back of the eye. Scleral buckling can be used to reattach the retina and reduce the risk of further complications.
Macular Hole: A macular hole is a small tear in the macula, the center of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. Scleral buckling can be used to close the hole and improve vision.
Trauma: Trauma to the eye can cause a retinal detachment or a tear in the retina. Scleral buckling can be used to repair the damage and prevent further complications.
Diabetic Retinopathy: In some cases of diabetic retinopathy, a scleral buckle can be used to reduce the risk of retinal detachment.

Anti-VEGF injections: Anti-VEGF injections are used to reduce swelling and block new blood vessel formation in the back of the eye.
Vitrectomy: This involves the removal of the vitreous gel from the eye to reduce traction and pressure.
Ocular implants: These are tiny implants placed in the eye to reduce retinal detachment and improve vision.
Retinal detachment surgery: This is an outpatient procedure that involves sealing the detached retina back onto the back wall of the eye.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
