Removing scleral encircling bands improved visual acuity and reduced astigmatism. This safe procedure also enhanced macular retinal light sensitivity, suggesting better visual outcomes post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery

Background:

  • Scleral encircling bands are used in retinal detachment surgery.
  • The long-term effects of these bands on visual function are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate visual changes in patients after the removal of scleral encircling bands.
  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of removing scleral encircling bands.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 40 patients (40 eyes) undergoing scleral band removal.
  • Control group included fellow eyes and patients with non-removed bands.
  • Evaluations included visual acuity, intraocular pressure, axial length, microperimetry, and corneal topography.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in best-corrected visual acuity and astigmatism at 6 months post-removal (p < 0.05).

  • Enhanced fixation stability and macular retinal light sensitivity observed.
  • No significant changes in axial length were noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • Scleral band removal may lead to improved visual outcomes by reducing corneal astigmatism and enhancing macular sensitivity.
    • The procedure is deemed safe, simple, and feasible.
