Optimizing retinal thermofusion in retinal detachment repair: achieving instant adhesion without air tamponade

Bymarc

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair by intraoperative sealing of the tear without a tamponade agent should enable faster restoration of vision, resumption of normal activities. It avoids the need for further surgery in the case of silicone oil endotamponade. This study evaluates the retinal thermofusion (RTF) retinopexy method of subretinal space dehydration prior to photocoagulation to…

Clinical patterns in Diabetic Retinopathy

Bymarc

Background The traditional classification of diabetic retinopathy assumes that all patients go through similar stages during their disease. Over many years, A/Prof Heriot has noted several different clinical patterns. Clinical patterns in diabetic retinopathy One pattern is of increasing importance as more people survive diabetes long-term due to better care. People who have had diabetes…
