Scleral banding, a procedure used to cure the majority of retinal detachments, is wrapping a silicone band around the affected area to pull the retinal layers back together.
What is a scleral buckle or band?
One of the several ophthalmologic treatments that can be done to treat a retinal detachment is a scleral buckle. A scleral buckle can be used to seal the retinal break in both acute and chronic retinal detachments, which are typically brought on by retinal tears.
The size and shape of scleral buckles vary widely. The cylinder-shaped silicone sponge (with air-filled cells) is available in a range of sizes. An encircling band is a thin silicone band that is sewed around the eye's sclera. There is also a solid silicone grooved tyre part.
To make a dimple on the eye wall, buckles are frequently positioned beneath a band.
