    Scleral buckling may reduce retinal blood flow, indicated by a lower flow pulsatility ratio in treated eyes. This finding suggests compromised retinal circulation could explain certain postoperative complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Technology
    • Retinal Circulation

    Background:

    • Scleral buckling is a surgical procedure to repair retinal detachments.
    • Assessing retinal circulatory dynamics post-surgery is crucial for understanding outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Laser Doppler velocimetry was employed to measure retinal blood flow characteristics.
    • Flow pulsatility ratio (systolic/diastolic variation) was evaluated in retinal arteries.

    Findings:

    • Eyes undergoing scleral buckling showed a reduced flow pulsatility ratio compared to fellow eyes.
    • Implant type (solid vs. absorbable) and use of an encircling band influenced the flow pulsatility ratio.
    • Removal of buckling elements correlated with increased flow pulsatility ratio in one case.

    Implications:

    • Reduced retinal blood flow appears common after scleral buckling.
    • Compromised retinal circulation may be a significant factor in unexplained postoperative complications.
