Scleral Buckle Surgery In Hyderabad​

Scleral buckle surgery is a popular procedure used to fix or improve the appearance of the eye. Scleral buckle surgery is a type of eye surgery that uses a band to tighten the skin around the eye. The band tightens and lifts the skin, which improves the appearance of the eye.

Scleral buckle surgery is most often used to fix eyelid creases and folds. It is also used to improve the appearance of eyes that are sunken in (underneath the eyebrows), have an excess of fat around the eye, or have other cosmetic concerns.

If you are considering scleral buckle surgery as an option for your eye, please consult Mantracare Hyderabad. Before undergoing this type of surgery, it is important to fully understand your risks and benefits.

Scleral Buckling Procedure

scleral buckling

The complete Scleral Buckling Surgery procedure typically takes about an hour and is done under local anesthesia. The surgery begins with the surgeon making a small cut in the lower eyelid to allow light to enter the eye. 

This allows the doctor to see the inside of the eye better, and helps them locate the sclera (the white muscle that covers the pupil). Once located, the doctor makes another small cut in the sclera, and uses a special tool called a spatula to gently push it up and away from the eyeball. 

This exposes the eyeball to air and allows healing to take place. The doctor then closes the eyelid using stitches, and removes any remaining pieces of sclera.

Why Scleral Buckling?

Here are some reasons why you might need scleral buckling surgery: 

  • You have severe myopia, which means that your eyes are nearsighted. This means that you can’t see things clearly up close. 
  • Your myopia has progressed to the point where it is causing significant visual problems, such as blurred vision and difficulty reading. 
  • You have had several unsuccessful attempts at correcting your myopia with eyeglasses or contact lenses. These treatments may not be enough to provide you with a good level of vision. 
  • Your eyeball has become so stretched out from being nearsighted that it cannot hold its shape anymore. This can lead to other problems, such as glaucoma (a condition that can cause blindness) and cataracts (a type of eye disease).

Frequently Asked Questions

Scleral buckle surgery is a type of eye surgery that is used to treat retinal detachments. The surgery involves placing a band around the outside of the eye, which helps to hold the retina in place. The surgery is usually done in combination with other procedures, such as laser surgery or vitrectomy. MantraCare Hyderabad offers one of the best facilities & doctors for Scleral buckle surgeries.

There are several risks associated with scleral buckling such as:

  • Bleeding: There is also a risk of bleeding during or after scleral buckling surgery.
