Abstract
A method includes inserting a flexible cannula between a sclera and a choroid of an eye. The needle is advanced from a distal end of the flexible cannula, such that the needle pierces the choroid to access a subretinal space of the eye. The needle is used to deliver a first volume of leading bleb fluid to the subretinal space. The delivery of leading bleb fluid is ceased for a duration of time. After expiration of the duration of time, the needle is used to deliver a second volume of the leading bleb fluid to the subretinal space. The combination of the delivered first and second volumes of the leading bleb fluid causes a substantial portion of the retina to detach from the choroid. A therapeutic agent may then be delivered to the subretinal space in the region where the retina is detached from the choroid.
