Scleral Buckling (External Surgery)

Finally, external retinal surgery, also known as scleral buckling, involves placing a silicone band around the eyeball. This exerts inward pressure, encouraging the retina to reattach to the eye wall. The band remains permanently in place and is not visible externally.

Recognizing the symptoms of retinal detachment promptly and choosing the most appropriate surgical option is essential for preserving vision and preventing irreversible complications. In case of suspicious symptoms, it is crucial to consult an ophthalmologist immediately for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
