"sclerotomies were made at 2.5 mm posterior to the limbus at approximately 10 o’clock and approximately 2 o’clock" Is this the proper way to transcribe when the doc is referring to the place on the eye?

Yes it is, as they are stating a clock position and not time.

2-o'clock is correct - sweetgirlsmom

The number with a hyphen is correct for a place. It would not be transcribed as 2:00 which is an expression of time.
