Methodological Approach to Improve Surgical Outcomes of a Pig Subretinal Implantation Model.

Purpose: To improve outcomes for subretinal implantation surgery in pigs.

Methods: Analysis of variables affecting the success of subretinal implantation surgery was performed on videos of 37 surgeries. Ex vivo experiments were conducted to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) and test various prototyped implanters for effectiveness at maintaining IOP.

Optical Path Redirection Device for Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Recumbent Patients Under General Anesthesia.

Purpose: Optical coherence tomography angiography is useful for the noninvasive imaging of retinal and choroidal vasculature, but some patients are unable to cooperate for imaging in clinic. We created a device that allows for imaging in the recumbent position under anesthesia.

Methods: A three-dimensional printed prototype was designed to attach to the Optovue AngioVue.
