Although tissue biopsies for diagnosis have been an integral part of the development of many medical areas, progress has been restricted in the case of chorioretinal disease because of the inherent risks involved in such surgery. The recent advances in microsurgery of the eye, and in vitreoretinal surgery in particular, have provided the impetus to develop a safe technique for retinal biopsy and to look for diagnostic and therapeutic indications.
尽管用于诊断的组织活检一直是许多医学领域发展不可或缺的一部分，但由于此类手术存在固有风险，脉络膜视网膜疾病领域的进展受到了限制。眼部显微手术，尤其是玻璃体视网膜手术的最新进展，为开发一种安全的视网膜活检技术以及寻找诊断和治疗指征提供了动力。
