A Novel Therapy Using Unique Thermogel Prevents Retinal Scarring (IMAGE)
Caption
A healthy retina contains organised light-sensitive layers of neurons at the back of the eye. Upon retinal scarring, it can result in retinal detachment with loss of these organised layers and visual impairment. Application of a bio-functional thermogel prevents this detachment and maintains the retina.
