Post-Traumatic Stress Across Color Lines: A History of Anti-Black Exclusion & PTSD.

Teleguided photocoagulation treatments across continents with a remotely programmed laser for retinal diseases.

Diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusion represent two prevalent vision-threatening retinal diseases. Retinal laser therapy still plays an important role in treating these conditions, but its successful administration often requires referral to specialized centers and retina experts. It is, therefore, essential to develop a new treatment methodology that enables patients to benefit from the expertise of specialists from reference centers.
