The Effect of Scleral Buckle Surgery on Glaucoma Risk

  • Summary

  • Scleral buckling is a common surgical procedure for the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The association between scleral buckling and angle-closure glaucoma is well-documented. However,the influence of scleral buckling on the development and progression of open-angle glaucoma is less well understood.

    Dr. Lori Provencher interviews Dr. Arthur J. Sit on the effect of scleral buckle surgery on ocular biomechanics and aqueous humor dynamics from his Ophthalmology Glaucoma article, “The Effect of Scleral Buckle Surgery on Tonographic Outflow Facility, Positional Intraocular Pressure, and Ocular Biomechanics.”
