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 />
