Deep Sclerectomy

Deep sclerectomy is a type of eye surgery used to treat glaucoma, a condition of increased pressure in the eye. This procedure involves the removal of a part of the eye's sclera, which is the white outer wall of the eye, and the insertion of a tiny tube or stent implant to help drain the fluid from inside the eye and prevent the pressure buildup. By reducing the pressure in the eye, deep sclerectomy helps to prevent vision loss caused by glaucoma. This technique is considered one of the safest and most effective treatments for glaucoma, and can be performed on both eyes if necessary.
