“…We would like to thank Dr Xiradis and colleagues for the comments 1 to our paper about the radiation induced scleral necrosis (RISN) after brachytherapy of uveal melanoma (UM). 2 The authors draw a parallel between data of scleral necrosis (SN) associated with pterygium excision and adjunctive brachytherapy with Strontium-90 ( 90 Sr) and RISN following brachytherapy with Ruthenium-106 ( 106 Ru) and Ruthenium-106 -Iodine-125 ( 106 Ru -25 I) plaques in UM.…”

“…Therefore, there were no cases with RISN and infectious scleritis in our series. 2 Another points highlighted by Xiradis et al 1 are the management and outcome of RISN, including the risk of RISN related endophthalmitis. Severe thinning of the exposed irradiated sclera might increase the risk of endophthalmitis in patients with RISN, eventually due to inapparent microperforation.…”
