Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Ocular Reconstruction

Background:

  • Scleral defects pose significant challenges to globe integrity and visual function.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for preserving ocular structure and vision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the visual and structural outcomes of scleral patch grafting for scleral defects.
  • To assess the efficacy of scleral patch grafting in restoring ocular integrity.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective interventional case series of 13 patients undergoing scleral patch grafting.
  • Utilized alcohol-preserved full-thickness sclera for defect repair, covered with conjunctival flap or amniotic membrane.
  • Assessed structural integrity and visual outcomes post-operatively.

Main Results:

  • Tectonic success achieved in 76.9% of eyes (10/13).
  • Common etiology: necrotizing scleritis post-pterygium surgery (40%).
  • Complications included endophthalmitis, graft necrosis, and dehiscence; visual acuity stable in 60%.

Conclusions:

  • Scleral patch grafting is an effective and simple method for preserving globe integrity.
  • Conjunctival or amniotic membrane coverage enhances graft success.
  • The procedure offers both structural and functional benefits for eyes with scleral defects.
