In simple words: This procedure strengthens the white part of the eye (sclera) when it is weak, without using any extra material. It helps protect the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision (macula) in cases of severe nearsightedness.

This procedure involves strengthening and securing a weakened sclera without using a graft.It may be performed to avoid further damage to the macula from extreme myopia. The procedure involves making incisions to expose the sclera and then folding and suturing the stretched scleral connective tissue.

Example 1: A patient with high myopia experiences progressive thinning of the sclera, putting them at risk of macular damage. Scleral reinforcement (67250) is performed to strengthen the sclera and prevent further vision deterioration., Following trauma to the eye, a patient develops a localized area of scleral thinning.To prevent further complications, 67250 is performed to reinforce the weakened area., A patient with a scleral ectasia undergoes 67250 to stabilize the eye and prevent further progression of the condition.

Documentation should include the diagnosis necessitating the procedure (e.g., high myopia, scleral ectasia), preoperative evaluation including visual acuity and imaging studies, details of the surgical technique used, and postoperative care plan.
