Sclera buckling refers to a surgical procedure that involves a piece of silicone plastic or sponge being sewn onto the sclera at the location of a retina tear, for the purpose of pushing the sclera towards the retinal tear. The buckle pushes the sclera against the retina until the tear is sealed by scar tissue. It also prevents further retinal detachment by preventing fluid leakage.
Scleral buckling is used to reattach the retina and is effective in supporting a tear, hole, or break. It is performed to reestablish the anatomic proximity between the separated retina and its underlying tissue. An acute retinal detachment is considered an ophthalmologic emergency that could rapidly progress to irreversible loss of vision in the affected eye if not treated.
The scleral buckling procedure is performed in an operating room, under either general or local anesthesia depending on the doctor’s judgment. Patients are given eye drops just before the procedure, to dilate the pupil and allow better access to the eye. The patient is then put under anesthesia, and after the eye is numbed, the eye membrane is cut to expose the sclera. In instances where the surgeon’s view of the retinal detachment is blocked by inflammation or bleeding, a vitrectomy may be performed before sclera buckling.
Upon surgery, one may experience pain for a few days. The eye may be red and swollen or even tender for a few weeks. Eye drops are often administered to prevent infections and keep the pupil from dilating and constricting. Additionally, one may have to wear an eye patch for a day or two after surgery.
However, complications may arise soon after surgery. The patient should contact the doctor in case they develop one or more of these signs:
The success of scleral buckling is determined by the extent of initial macular involvement. The most crucial factor affecting the success of restoring visual acuity is the presence or absence of macular involvement.
There are several ways in which retinal detachment may be corrected. Each method can help restore good vision. The results vary depending on the cause, location, and type of detachment, which determine which type of surgery to be employed.
Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.
