A simple technique for controlled subretinal injections.
Recently developed vitrectomy techniques for management of choroidal neovascular membranes and subretinal hemorrhages often involve the subretinal injection of fluid materials. A simple, inexpensive infusion system that allows for the controlled injection of fluid, allowing use of a minimal amount of fluid and maximizing surgeon control, is described.
