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.
