Subretinal Injection Retinal Detachment

Subretinal injection has been shown to be the most common and efficient way to deliver advanced therapies (such as cell and gene therapies) for photoreceptors and/or retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) pathologies. Furthermore, subretinal injections of different substances is an adequate method of inducing retinal detachment. In brief, a tunnel through the sclera and the choroid is created until the subretinal space, between the neural retina and the RPE, is reached. Then, substances are gently and slowly microinjected into the subretinal space with a microinjection system .
