Potential Benefits of Scleral Spacing
Scleral Spacing may provide the following benefits to patients:

• Long term corrected vision -The Scleral Spacing Procedure is designed to restore the human eye, in persons in their mid-40's or older, to the physiological condition of a much younger eye. The results of our current research indicates that Scleral Spacing should benefit the patient for a considerable number of years.
• Low Risk Procedure - Scleral Spacing involves operating on the sclera (white of the eye), a surface of the eye rarely associated with surgical complications.
• Minimally invasive procedure - The procedure can be completed by trained physicians using topical and/or local anesthesia in less than 45 minutes on an outpatient basis. The patients are able to enjoy improved vision almost immediately after the procedure and generally have a recovery period of less than 24 hours.
• Reversible - Investigational surgeries have demonstrated that the Scleral Expansion Band can be removed and the patient's eye returns to its original preoperative characteristics.
