متن کاملScleral fixation using suture retrieval through a scleral tunnel.
Scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) can be performed under the protection of a scleral flap. A variation of this technique uses a scleral tunnel for suture fixation to the eye. Passage of a double-armed suture through the roof of the scleral tunnel with subsequent retrieval of the suture ends through the external incision for tying facilitates scleral fixation. This modification offer...

متن کاملLimited macular translocation with scleral retraction suture.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Macular translocation with scleral imbrication is a new technique for treating subfoveal choroidal neovascular membranes (CNV). This procedure shortens the sclera but may result in a minimal decrease in the internal circumference of the globe and limits the amount of foveal displacement. The authors propose a new scleral retraction suture aimed at decreasing the internal circumf...
