    A modified Legrand scleral ring effectively prevents scleral collapse and improves surgical exposure. It also provides essential globe fixation during ocular surgery, enhancing procedural outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Scleral collapse and inadequate surgical exposure can complicate ophthalmic procedures.
    • Globe fixation is critical for precise surgical maneuvers like trephining and suturing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the functional benefits of a modified Legrand scleral ring in ophthalmic surgery.
    • To assess its role in preventing scleral complications and improving surgical access.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Legrand scleral ring was employed during surgical procedures.
    • The ring's impact on scleral stability, eyelid separation, and globe fixation was observed.

    Main Results:

    • The modified Legrand scleral ring successfully prevented anterior scleral buckling and collapse.
