Cryotherapy
Retinal detachments are usually repaired with an operation called scleral buckling. The holes and tears are first sealed using either cryotherapy (freezing) or laser photocoagulation. Either of these procedures are used to "weld" the area surrounding the hole/tear, sealing the area, and preventing more fluid from getting beneath the retina. The fluid already present under the retina may be drained or depending on the individual case may be left to absorb slowly by itself. Then, in order to reposition the retina back against the choroid, a soft silicone material is sutured to the outer wall of the eye. This creates an indentation or "buckle". Surgery takes one to two hours to complete, depending upon the complexity of the detachment.
