Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scleral buckling surgery is a surgical procedure used to repair retinal detachment by applying a silicone band around the eye to push the sclera (the white part of the eye) closer to the retina. This helps to bring the retina back into place and keep it in place while it heals. Glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and keratitis are not indications for scleral buckling surgery.
