Why do some patients continue to have distorted vision after undergoing retinal reattachment procedures? New research led by Dr. Rajeev Muni (@RaHMu123) explored the differences in procedures and their outcomes. https://t.co/nSw3YMouDo (1 of 4)

The study, published in @AAOjournal, found that pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) – an operating room procedure – is associated with a higher risk of retinal displacement compared with pneumatic retinopexy (PnR), a minimally invasive procedure. (2 of 4)

The research also found that retinal displacement was associated with worse aniseikonia – a condition where the difference in size or shape of images is different between a patient’s eyes. (3 of 4)

This builds off of Dr. Muni’s previous work which found PnR leads to better long-term integrity& structure of the cells that allow us to see, versus more invasive operating room procedures. (4 of 4)
