Sclerotomy

Incision into the white area of the eye From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sclerotomy is a medical intervention that involves surgical cutting in the white area of the eye, known as the sclera.[1] The goal of this intervention is usually done to correct defects in sclera that resulted as a complication of glaucoma of other ocular diseases.[2] Sclerotomy can be divided into anterior sclerotomy and posterior sclerotomy.[3] The sclerotomy incisions are made by:

  1. Transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV)[4][5]
  2. High-frequency deep sclerotomy (HFDS)[6]
  3. Full-thickness sclerotomy[citation needed]
