    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Scleral grafts have been used in ophthalmology since the 1950s for various procedures. While some uses are now obsolete, scleral tissue remains valuable for glaucoma, oculoplastics, and patching ocular defects due to its availability and properties.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Tissue Engineering

    Background:

    • Scleral grafts have a long history of use in ophthalmic surgery.
    • The application of scleral tissue has evolved significantly since the mid-20th century.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the historical evolution of scleral graft utilization in ophthalmology.
    • To outline current trends and applications of scleral grafts in eye surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases.
    • Search terms included "sclera", "graft", and "surgery".
    • Analysis of 192 relevant articles, sorted chronologically and by surgical technique.

    Main Results:

    • Scleral grafts have been employed for diverse ophthalmic indications since the 1950s.
    • Some historical applications, like retinal detachment surgery, are now uncommon.
    • Current key uses include glaucoma surgery, oculoplastic procedures, and scleral/corneal defect repair.

    Conclusions:

    • Allogeneic sclera, though used less frequently than other tissue bank products, remains a relevant ophthalmic surgical material.
    • Its continued utility is attributed to its accessibility and inherent biological properties.
    • The range of indications for scleral grafts has narrowed but remains significant in specific subspecialties.
