Scleral Buckle Surgery In Khammam​

Scleral buckle surgery is a surgical procedure that is used to correct scleral buckling, which is a condition in which the eye socket bones pull on the delicate tissues that cover the eyeball. This can cause severe vision loss and lead to other serious problems, such as eye pain and difficulty seeing in bright light.

Scleral buckle surgery is generally done as an outpatient procedure. The surgeon uses a small incision to make a hole in the front of your eye. They then use a special tool called a buckle to tighten the surrounding muscles and fix the eye socket in its proper position. This surgery is often successful in restoring vision and preventing further damage from happening.

If you are looking for an effective and safe surgical procedure to correct the scleral buckle, you are in the right place. Our surgeons at Mantracare Khammam offer a variety of surgical options that can correct your scleral buckle

So, I decided to go ahead with it and this is the best decision I have ever made! The results are life-changing and healing.”

Frequently Asked Questions
