Accuracy of scleral transillumination techniques to identify infant ciliary body for sclerostomy and intravitreal injections

Conclusions& RelevanceThe STI technique is a useful and fast technique to demonstrate the ciliary body. The mid ‐point of the dark band on STI correlates well with the UBM, and has a potential use for confirming safe‐entry into the posterior segment if using current guidelines. The current cadaver‐based pediatric guidelines safely avoid retinal injury.
