He discovered the appropriate amount of oxygen in incubators to save the retina and vision of premature infants worldwide. Flynn, MD, dedicated his career to finding a cause for retinopathy of prematurity, a blinding condition afflicting premature infants. Through the decades, many more of the Institute’s clinician-researchers have advanced the field of ophthalmology. It is now one of the most frequent procedures in ophthalmology. Until then, ophthalmologists had considered the vitreous body forbidden territory because of the risk of causing a retinal detachment. The same year, Robert Machemer, MD, performed the world’s first pars plana vitrectomy on a Miami patient, using innovative microsurgical tools developed at Bascom Palmer specifically for the procedure. For instance, Donald Gass, MD, in 1970 introduced a procedure called fluorescein angiography that would soon become a world standard in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal disorders.
