    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Retinal breaks require precise localization for effective treatment.
    • Cryosurgery is a common method for treating retinal breaks, involving a cryosurgical probe.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the potential modifications and diverse applications of a scleral marking pen beyond its primary use.
    • To evaluate the scleral marking pen as a versatile tool in ophthalmic procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing a scleral marking pen to indicate the precise location of a retinal break.
    • Modifying the scleral marking pen for use as a localization device.
    • Adapting the pen as a measuring instrument for surgical planning.
    • Employing the pen as a simulator for explant buckle placement.
