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

Figure 3

Influence of (a) IOP (mmHg) and (b) BW (mm) on the myopia induced, in diopters (D). No clear tendency of the induced myopia is observed with increasing IOP. On the contrary, bandwidth has a role in the postsurgical myopia change. The wider the band is, the greater the degree of myopia is induced. (c) Myopic changes obtained for all the simulated cases. (d) Mean values of the myopic change induced by the three bandwidths considered: 1, 2, and 2.5 mm.
