Scleral Buckle Procedure at Beacon Retina
At Beacon Retina in Bethesda, we specialize in the scleral buckle procedure, a highly effective surgical treatment for repairing retinal detachments. This proven technique involves placing a soft, supportive band (buckle) around the eye to gently reposition and stabilize the retina, allowing it to reattach properly.
Our approach combines advanced surgical expertise with personalized care, ensuring each patient receives the most appropriate treatment based on their specific condition. Whether the detachment is straightforward or complex, our goal is to restore vision and protect long-term eye health.
Types of Scleral Buckle Procedures
This technique is particularly effective for certain types of retinal detachments and is often recommended based on patient age, eye structure, and underlying risk factors.
Primary Buckle
For treating retinal detachments in younger patients and trauma cases
Combined Buckle-Vitrectomy
For treating complex or recurrent retinal detachments in patients with risk factors
