摘要：
A method (400) includes identifying (406) an actual location of a ciliary body (216) in a patients eye (200). The method also includes identifying (410) a position for a scleral prosthesis (220) to be inserted into scleral tissue of the patients eye based on the identified location of the ciliary body. The method could also include forming (412) a scleral tunnel (422) in the scleral tissue of the patients eye based on the identified position and inserting (416) the scleral prosthesis into the scleral tunnel. Identifying the actual location of the ciliary body could include illuminating (502-506) a first portion of the patients eye using illumination provided at a second portion of the patients eye. The illumination provided at the second portion of the patients eye may be provided through an eyelid of the patient and may travel under a cornea of the patients eye to the first portion of the patients eye.
