Page "Vitrectomy" Paragraph 4

The development of new instruments and surgical strategies through the 1970s and 1980s was spearheaded by surgeon / engineer Steve Charles, M. D.

More recent advances have included smaller and more refined instruments for use in the eye, the injection of various medications at the time of surgery to manipulate a detached retina into its proper position and mark the location of tissue layers to allow their removal, and for long term protection against scar tissue formation.
