Monthly ophthalmic examinations were performed for 3\u202fmonths following the procedure. The assessments included external eye and fundus examinations, color fundus imaging, and optical coherence tomography. At the end of the observation period, both eyes from each rabbit were enucleated and subjected to histopathological evaluation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The surgery was successfully performed on 21 eyes, with a success rate of 80.95% (17\/21).

The average maximum dome height is 2,470.42\u202f\u00b1\u202f876.11\u202f\u03bcm on the day of operation and 1,585.97\u202f\u00b1\u202f351.93\u202f\u03bcm 3\u202fmonths postoperatively, with the average difference of 866.37\u202f\u00b1\u202f592.94\u202f\u03bcm. A total of four eyes experienced inadvertent perforations of both the choroid and retina, leading to vitreous and suprachoroidal hemorrhages.
