The goal of this surgery is to move the retina
away from the abnormal blood vessels in wet macular degeneration to
a new "healthy" area.
The retina is either rotated around the optic nerve to a new
location or it is displaced with a gas bubble.
While few patients are good candidates for these procedures,
significant visual recovery has been achieved in select cases. |
