Vitreoretinal Surgery<br />

Dr. McCannel has a longstanding interest in the<br />

management of vitreoretinal conditions, particularly<br />

complex retinal detachments, complications of diabetic<br />

retinopathy, macular holes and epimacular membranes,<br />

and age-related macular degeneration. His clinical<br />

research efforts are directed at the improvement of<br />

vitreoretinal surgical techniques and outcomes, including<br />

the prevention of endophthalmitis following intravitreal<br />

injections.<br />

Dr. McCannel devotes time to educational research as<br />

well. Currently, he is investigating the utility of virtual<br />

reality surgery simulation in teaching ophthalmic surgery.<br />

He has several ongoing protocols that assess ophthalmic<br />

surgical simulation in surgical teaching.<br />
