    results?

    A scleral buckle is more likely to cause retinal detachment. It is not
    going to help myopic changes.

    My RS has been doing ove 20 years on Myopics. He said it slows down
    the porgression of the Myopic MD. You have never heard of this?

    I have a scleral buckle. It increased both my myopia and my
    astigmatism.

    I wonder if this is a simple problem with terminology, and you don't
    mean "myopia" at all, but rather "macular degeneration", sometimes
    referred to as "MD". This has nothing to do with myopia in my limited
    knowledge.

    If so, I'm done with this thread, because my knowledge about MD could
    easily fit on the head of a pin!
