El cierre esclerótico se coloca una vez que se cierran las roturas y desgarramientos de la retina, ya sea con rayos láser o mediante criotransductor. El cierre esclerótico consiste en un parche de silicona que se envuelve alrededor del ojo, comprimiendo el globo ocular y alargándolo levemente, empujando así la retina hacia arriba contra la cara posterior del ojo y sellando el desprendimiento. Por lo general, el parche de silicona se deja puesto de forma permanente, a menos que cause problemas posteriores, como una infección.
