Scleral Spacing Procedure (SSP) |
Here, the surgeon inserts four plastic segments made out of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) just below the surface of the sclera, which increases the distance between the muscles that focus the lens and the lens itself. It is thought that the extra distance augments the tension of the muscle, thus allowing it to do a better job of focusing the lens.
