- Scleral lenses are large diameter gas permeable lenses that rest. beyond the limits of the cornea on the sclera. Successful fitting of. scleral lenses may defer surgical intervention and decrease the risk. of corneal scarring (4). Scleral lenses may be indicated for primary. and secondary corneal ectasias, post-corneal transplants, and.

Scleroderma When a person has scleroderma (sclare-oh-dur-muh), the body makes too much collagen. This excess collagen, the substance that holds our body together, causes hardening and tightening. Most people have hardening and tightening on their skin. Scleroderma means “hard skin.” But this disease can affect more than the skin.

- Options may include: 1  Using a laser. 2  A certain type of laser surgery (focal laser photocoagulation) can repair a retinal tear or hole. 3  Your surgeon uses a laser to heat small pinpoints on the retina. 4  This creates scarring that usually binds, or welds, the retina to the underlying tissue.

Sclera The sclera is the fibrous layer around the eye, commonly known as the white of the eye.. It extends completely around the globe, except at the extreme anterior region, where it meets the cornea. The sclera is completely opaque, preventing light from entering the eye except through the cornea. While only 0.5 to 1.0 mm thick, the sclera is rather rigid and stiff. The stiffness of the sclera helps to protect and maintain the spherical shape of the globe. If the eye's shape is altered, it cannot properly focus patterns of light on the retina and vision becomes impaired.

Vitrectomy: What to Expect With Macular Pucker Surgery and Recovery A macular pucker, also known as an epiretinal membrane, is a thin layer of scar tissue that forms over the macula, the sensitive part of the retina that is located at the back of the eye. The macula is the area of the retina that provides clear, sharp central vision.

- Surgery Overview. Scleral buckling surgery is a common way to treat retinal detachment. It is a method of closing breaks and flattening the retina. A scleral buckle is a piece of silicone sponge, rubber, or semi-hard plastic that your eye doctor (ophthalmologist) places on the outside of the eye (the sclera, or the white of the eye).

Traveling Violations 1 Once this player comes to a stop, then the decision making process of what constitutes a traveling violation enters the picture.  On a drive to the basket, when a player ends his dribble and collects the ball, he is permitted 2 steps prior to releasing the ball on a shot or a pass. Count the steps: 1 ‐ 2 is legal; 1 ‐ 2 ‐ 3 is not. If you get to 3 and the offensive player is still holding the ball, call a traveling violation.

How to Reduce the Appearance of Scarring The sun's rays can increase the pigment in your skin, making your scars more noticeable. Step 4. Apply a cosmetic concealer to the scar to temporarily reduce its visibility. Select a concealer shade that matches your skin tone and massage it into the affected area. Cover it with a foundation powder to further reduce the scar's appearance. Step 5

Types of Kidney Disease Leading to Scarring This is a group of diseases that are the third most common type of kidney disease. The“glomerulo” refer to the clusters of blood vessels that filter wastes out of the blood for excretion in urine. The “sclerosis” refers to the kidney scarring that result from it. Glomerulosclerosis is not caused by a single disease.

- In someone suffering with scleroderma, collagen (a protein manufactured by the connective tissues of the body) is produced in excess. This over-production of collagen can be likened to the process of scarring, which is the way the body heals a wound. For persons with scleroderma, the scarring gets out of hand.

Scarring Alopecia Scarring alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia, refers to a collection of hair loss disorders that may be diagnosed in up to 3% of hair loss patients. It occurs worldwide in otherwise healthy men and women of all ages.

Macular Pucker What causes macular pucker? As you age, the vitreous, a clear gel-like substance, that fills the middle of your eye, begins to shrink and pull away from the retina. As the vitreous pulls away, scar tissue may develop on the macula. Sometimes the scar tissue can warp and contract causing the retina to wrinkle or bulge.

Scleritis Scleritis is the inflammation in the episcleral and scleral tissues with injection in both superficial and deep episcleral vessels. It may involve the cornea, adjacent episclera and the uvea and thus can be vision-threatening. Scleritis is often associated with an underlying systemic disease in up to 50% of patients.

Eye Conditions During the surgery, the eye doctor will place a silicone band (the scleral buckle) around the white part of your eye (the sclera). This relieves the tension that is. pulling the retina out of place. To prevent the tear from opening again, the eye. doctor will seal the retina in place.

- The term “multiple sclerosis” refers to the multiple areas of scar tissue — often called “lesions” — that develop along affected nerve fibers and that are visible in MRI scans. The literal meaning of “sclerosis” is “pathological hardening of tissue.”

- Background. 1  This study was designed to measure changes in anterior chamber depth (ACD), central cornea thickness (CCT), and axial length (AL) after scleral buckle (SB) surgery or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for the repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD).

sclera sclera (skler´ə) , n the opaque, fibrous, protective layer of the eye containing collagen and elastic fibers. It is commonly known as the white of the eye. Because the sclera is thinner in children, some of the underlying eye pigment is visible, making the eye appear slightly bluish.

- A scleral lens is a specialized contact lens used to manage a variety of eye conditions. It is made of plastic that is clear and rigid, yet allows the eye to breathe, keeping it healthy. A scleral lens is slightly larger than most soft contact lenses and is designed to rest on the white (less sensitive) part of the eye called the sclera. That is why it’s called a scleral lens! This unique design makes the lens very comfortable to wear, all day long.

Scleritis Scleritis occurs most often in people aged 30 to 60 and is rare in children. If left untreated, the condition can spread to parts of other parts of the eye. Some visual loss could then occur. Symptoms. The main symptoms of scleritis are pain and redness in the white part of the eye. These symptoms usually develop gradually and eventually become severe. The redness may become an intense purple. Many people with scleritis have pain radiating from the eye to adjacent areas of the head and face.

Scleral Buckle Surgery I had the scleral buckle by Dr. [Brian] Ward in November of 2009. I am glad I did. It was in the eye that is NOT neovascularizing, my right eye, which is 30.5 and -12.50. The only issue I have is some lingering double vision, but it is almost not noticeable anymore except when I am tired or in a strange place.

Demyelinating Disease: What Causes It? This causes inflammation and injury to the sheath and ultimately to the nerve fibers that it surrounds and may result in multiple areas of scarring (sclerosis). Other types of demyelinating disease and their causes include: Optic neuritis — inflammation of the optic nerve in one or both eyes.

Scleritis Scleritis is a potentially serious inflammation of the sclera, commonly called the white of the eye. It is the tough, white tissue that gives the eye its shape and protects the eye. More than 50% of cases of scleritis are associated with another disease that affects the whole body, such as rheumatoid arthritis, or are caused by infection or injury.

Tympanosclerosis Tympanosclerosis is the medical term for scarring of the ear drum. Scarring occurs after the ear drum is injured or after surgery. Commonly a small white area can be seen after a person has had middle ear ventilation tubes. The scarring on the ear drum looks bright white. (Please see photo) Tympanosclerosis and congenital cholesteatoma (Chapter 7) can sometimes be confused because they are both white lesions seen on or under the ear drum.

- Scleral buckling is effective in supporting a tear, hole, or break in the retina that has caused the detachment. It is rarely helpful on its own when scar tissue tugging on the retina has caused the detachment (traction detachment).
