Ottawa – mechentel news – We present an optimized surgical technique for feline retinal detachment which allows for natural re-attachment, reduces retinal scarring and vitreal bands, and allows central placement of the detachment in close proximity to the optic nerve. This enables imaging via Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) analysis. Ideal detachment […]
