Sheets Glide-Assisted Intraocular Placement of the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis
Background And Objective:
As an increasing number of vitreoretinal surgeons are implanting retinal prosthesis devices, the need to share surgical techniques to ease implantation in challenging scenarios grows. The authors share a technique to aide in overcoming a challenge associated with uveal prolapse in a patient undergoing Argus II retinal prosthesis (Second Sight Medical Products, Sylmar, CA) implantation.
Patients And Methods:
A surgical technique is discussed and demonstrated using a video (Video available at www.healio.com/OSLIRetina).
Results:
A Sheets glide-assisted technique was used to successfully place the electrode array in the vitreous cavity.
Conclusion:
The Sheets glide may be a useful tool in aiding the retinal surgeon to successfully and easily place the electrode array of the Argus II retinal prosthesis. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2018;49:132-133.].
