Computational Simulation of Scleral Buckling Surgery for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: On the Effect of the Band Size on the Myopization

Figure 2

Eyeball before (a) and after (b) encircling scleral buckling surgery. The light-blue bold arrows represent the IOP acting on the inner surface of the eye. is the radius of the eyeball at the position where the band is planned to be attached, (line arrows) is the radial displacement towards the inner of the eye at the tightening of the band, is the axial length of the eye before the surgery, is the radius of the sclera under the band after the implantation, and is the postsurgical axial length.
