What is Scleral Surgery?
Scleral surgery involves procedures on the sclera, the tough, protective outer layer of the eye. The sclera plays a crucial role in maintaining the shape of the eye and protecting internal structures. Surgical interventions may be required in conditions such as:
- Scleritis: Severe inflammation of the sclera that may not respond to medication.
- Scleral thinning or defects: Often caused by trauma, infection, or degenerative conditions.
- Scleral reinforcement procedures: For conditions like progressive myopia where scleral integrity needs support.
Our surgeons utilize state-of-the-art techniques to repair, reinforce, or reconstruct the sclera, minimizing risks and ensuring optimal healing.
What is Orbital Surgery?
Orbital surgery focuses on the eye socket, including the muscles, nerves, fat, and bones that support and protect the eye. These surgeries are essential for treating conditions such as:
- Orbital tumors: Both benign and malignant growths within the eye socket.
- Orbital fractures: Resulting from trauma to the eye or face.
- Thyroid eye disease (Graves’ orbitopathy): Surgical decompression may be necessary to relieve pressure on the eyes.
- Orbital cellulitis or abscesses: Severe infections that require surgical drainage.
- Proptosis (bulging eyes): Surgical correction to improve function and appearance.
Our team combines surgical precision with advanced imaging techniques to map the orbit and plan procedures that protect vision and restore normal function.
