Scleral expansion band procedure: Therapy for ocular hypertension and primary open-angle glaucoma
Schachar RAAnnals of Ophthalmology - Glaucoma 2000; 32: 87-89
The scleral expansion band procedure (SRP) reverses presbyopia and increases the baseline tension of the ciliary muscle, which increases the trabecular meshwork pore size. By increasing the pore size, SRP is a new therapeutic and preventive modality for ocular hypertension and primary open- angle glaucoma.
