Attempted Surgical Repairs of Eye Injuries

ID: exh53636b
This illustration depicts the surgical repair of retinal detachment combined with the removal of a dislocated lens. In the first step, multiple portals are made in the sclera to gain access to the posterior chamber of the eye. The second step shows the dislocated lens being cut and aspirated from the lens capsule. Next, the pre-retinal blood is aspirated, and the detached retina is repaired using laser therapy, with the lens already removed and the retina reattached. Finally, a scleral buckle is fastened around the eye, applying external pressure to help maintain retinal reattachment and support the healing process.
