Scleral Buckle Surgery In Ahmednagar​

In Ahmednagar, scleral buckle surgery is a common procedure to correct refractive errors. Scleral buckles are often used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. They are inserted into the eye through a small incision near the lash line. The surgeon then uses a hydraulic press to apply pressure to the buckle, which forces the eyesight back into its natural alignment.

Scleral buckle surgery is an outpatient procedure that can be completed in a few hours. Recovery time is typically short, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately. Side effects are minimal and usually resolve within a few days post-surgery.
