Dr. Daniel Zhu presented findings on the outcomes of chandelier-assisted scleral buckling in rhegmatogenous retinal detachments at Retina 2024. The use of a chandelier light helps improve detection of retinal breaks, leading to a success rate of around 91.7% in 30 studies. A meta-analysis showed no significant difference in outcomes between chandelier-assisted scleral buckling and the standard technique using the indirect method. Additionally, the chandelier technique was found to be on average 18 minutes faster than the standard technique. The study was partially funded by a Corza research studies and educational grant.
