Definitions
sclerostomy
Noun
UK
/ˌsklɛrəˈstɒmi/
US
/ˌsklɛrəˈstɑːmi/
A surgical procedure involving the creation of an opening in the sclera, the white outer layer of the eyeball, to relieve intraocular pressure in the treatment of glaucoma.
The ophthalmologist recommended a sclerostomy to help manage the patient's glaucoma and reduce the risk of vision loss.
The small permanent opening formed in the sclera during such a procedure, through which aqueous humour can drain from the eye.
Post-operatively, the surgeon inspected the sclerostomy to ensure free flow of fluid.
