Diseases in the sclera often go undiagnosed particularily in young patients, which can lead to severe complications, or worse, since they can be a presenting sign of underlying and potentially fatal systemic diseases. This book covers differential diagnosis treatment plans based on current best practice and available evidence. Fully revised and updated, with new images and references. For opthalmologists in training and practice, rheumatologists, and clinical immunologists. Read more...

Some corneal diseases can be treated with amniotic membrane transplantation While in the sclera, integration into scleral stroma usually halts the disease process; in the cornea, the graft persists as a scar in the stroma. Nevertheless, it still makes the cornea amenable to a future transplant in a quiet eye. |
Augmented trabeculectomy may control IOP in neovascular glaucoma
The conjunctival flap was separated from the sclera, the superficial scleral flap was raised gradually while applying MMC 0.04% in the partially exposed scleral bed until the trabeculectomy opening was reached and aqueous humor flowed freely, |
Several options available for recurrent pterygium
The current recommended practice is not to leave the sclera exposed but to cover the region with a graft such as amniotic membrane transplantation or conjunctival autograft. The newer surgical strategies have focused on reducing pterygium recurrence, |
Canaloplasty offers an alternative to trabeculectomy
After two corneal anchorage sutures are placed, the conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule are opened at the limbus and the sclera is exposed. No wet-field hemostasis cautery should be performed to preserve the episcleral collector channels, |
Typically known only by practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine, discover which four facial signs could foretell of a liver problem.
by Nicole Cutler, L.Ac.
A centuries old system of healing, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is known to reveal aspects of a personâs health without a single lab test being ordered. Many may think that a healer guessing correctly about health issues after a short consultation harbors psychic powers. However, the knowledge used for an observational health assessment has nothing to do with clairvoyance. Different from Western physicians primarily depending on imaging studies, blood tests and biopsies for assessing liver health, practitioners of TCM view facial observation as a crucial liver assessment tool.
This is a strong protective coat for the eye, which is made up of elastic and collagen fibres.
I helps to ensure the shape of the eyeball. It also helps the eye resist external trauma and internal eye pressure , and is used as an attachment base for the eye muscles.
The oclumotor muscles are connected to it.These six muscles help move and rotate the eye. The principal optic nerve travelling from the brain connects to this tissue at the posterior of the eye.
With newborns and very young children this tissue, because it is thinner, may have a slightly bluish tinge, this is due to the underlying pigment showing through. In old age fatty deposits can give the "white of the eye" a more yellowish colour.

For those of you who do not know, the sclera is the white of the eye. I noticed last night when I watched a show that two of the characters had a strange pigmentation there, in both cases it was dark brown. I was wondering what would cause this.
People with dark skin may have darker pigmentation of the sclera as a natural phenomenon. However, there are some other possibilities, which are not common.

My wife has had a sclera buckle placed in her eye and I'm attempting to show her what it looks like. I've seen some
picture but therer were not very good.
Do you mean "Scleral Buckling"?
In scleral buckling surgery, the scleral buckle is placed against the outer surface of the eye and sewn into the eye to keep it in place. The buckle pushes the sclera toward the middle of the eye, relieving the pull on the retina and allowing the tear to settle against the wall of the eye.
