A minimally invasive retinal reattachment procedure that can be done in an ophthalmologist s office leads to better long-term integrity and structure of the retina s photoreceptors - cells that allow us to see - compared with more invasive operating room procedures, according to new research published April 22.
The study, published in
JAMA Ophthalmology and led by researchers at St. Michael s Hospital of Unity Health Toronto, contributes to a growing body of evidence pointing towards pneumatic retinopexy (PnR) as the better first-line retinal reattachment technique to achieve the best visual outcomes.

MONTREAL, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Long-term care facilities have been disproportionately burdened by COVID-19, accounting for about 60% of COVID-19 deaths nationwide, 70% if retirement homes are included. Not only are residents of these facilities particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 given their advanced age, reduced immune system capacity and multiple underlying health conditions, but staff also face an increased risk of infection. The Government of Canada, through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force (CITF), is providing a total of $8.5 million to support two studies investigating various aspects of immunity and people’s response to vaccines within long-term care facilities. These studies are recruiting participants in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.
