In this Retina Talks Episode, we try to explain in simple language about the common procedures for retinal detachment namely vitrectomy and scleralbuckling. Though the techniques are quite straight forward every retinal detachment is different and needs utmost care and precision.

Retinal Detachment Treatment:
The goal is to get the retina back quick in place so that it starts getting its blood supply and oxygen. A retinal detachment is fixed by a retina specialist by simple & advanced surgical techniques
Scleral Buckle
- In this technique, the retinal tear is fixed by an "EXTERNAL" approach ( without entering the eye). In scleral buckling, the tear is sealed using a freezing technique called “CRYOTHERAPY’ and then supported by a piece of SOLID SILICONE BUCKLE. It is a technique that requires great skill and clinical acumen
Vitreo Retinal Surgery
- In this technique the retinal tear is fixed by an "INTERNAL" approach It uses sophisticated machines and instruments (MIVS - MICROINCISION VITREOUS SURGERY) to remove the gel of the eye, the vitreous. The tear is then sealed with the LASER. The retina is then supported with either SILICONE OIL or INTRAOCULAR GAS injection. The patient is required to maintain the face, down position for few days after the surgery
