What is the role of scleral buckling in modern vitreoretinal surgery? In today’s podcast we are going to do something a bit different: we are thrilled to feature an interview performed by our friend and Retina Rounds contributor, Dr. David Perez Gonzalez. Dr. Gonzalez is a rising star in vitreoretinal surgery and the founder of Eyesite Academy, an ophthalmic surgery education channel. In the podcast, Dr. Perez Gonzalez and I discuss scleral buckling. Why is scleral buckling falling out of favor despite outstanding surgical outcomes? Which patients are the ideal candidates for a scleral buckle? How can surgeons learn how to perform scleral buckles if they weren’t exposed to this technique during fellowship training? We hope you find the discussion a useful adjunct to our ongoing series on scleral buckling. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out and subscribe to Eyesite Academy (see links below). Thank you Dr. Perez Gonzalez for sharing this interview with us!
