Scleral indentation without resection.

Scleral indentation without resection.

Technique of lamellar scleral resection.

THE purpose of this paper is to describe certain points in the technique of lamellar scleral resection which I think help in its efficient performance and shorten the time spent upon it. Particular mention is made of the scleral marker, the suture-retention coil, and the suture-tying forceps, new instruments which I have designed to assist in the orderly conduct of the operation. The time taken...

Scleral resection lamellar or penetrating.

IT affords me much pleasure to dedicate this short paper to Professor Dr. Karl Lindner as he has always been much interested in the subject of detachment of the retina in all its aspects. It was he who re-introduced Muller's operation for the treatment of cases of retinal detachment with unfavourable prognosis (Lindner, 1933) and his operation was taken up by Pischel (1945), Borley (1949), and ...

Intraoperative electrophysiological evaluations of macular function during peripheral scleral indentation

Scleral indentation is widely used to examine the peripheral fundus, however it can increase the intraocular pressure (IOP) to high levels which can then affect retinal function. We evaluated the effects of scleral indentation on the macular function electrophysiologically. Intraoperative focal macular electroretinograms (iFMERGs) were recorded with and without controlling the IOP in 7 eyes. Wi...

Scleral fixation without conjunctival dissection.

Scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) and adjunctive capsular devices can be performed under the protection of a scleral flap. A modification of this technique uses a scleral pocket initiated through a peripheral clear corneal incision. Full-thickness passage of a double-armed suture through the scleral pocket and conjunctiva, with subsequent retrieval of the suture ends through the ext...
