Scleral reinforcement: two case reports

Ophthalmic Surg. 1987 Jul;18(7):503-5.

Abstract

We report two cases of unilateral scleral reinforcement undergone for progressive pathologic myopia. Examination ten years after the operations showed the supportive effect of the scleral grafts. The effect, however, was localized and did not appear to block the overall progression of posterior staphyloma formation significantly.
