Retina/Vitreous
Dr. Jayanth Sridhar uses viscoelastic to repair a proliferative vitreoretinopathy retinal (PVR) detachment in an aphakic patient who recently underwent ruptured globe repair. The retinal tissue shows extensive contraction and is planted against the iris. Dr. Sridhar injects viscoelastic to displace the retina posteriorly, allowing subsequent peeling and retinal repair.
