![]() ![]() However, as highlighted by Naidoo and Fisher (2020), our reliance on globalization and economic growth as drivers of green investment and sustainable development is no longer realistic. As a result, going forward, a fundamental change to human bio-physical activities on earth now appears on the spectrum of possibility ( Anderson et al., 2020). Despite this, the measures imposed by governments have also led to some “accidental” positive effects on the environment and natural ecosystems. Viewed holistically, the emerging pieces of evidence indicate we are at a most consequential moment in history where a rethink of sustainable pathways for the planet has become pertinent. Data remains in flux, government policies oscillate, and the killer virus seeps through nations, affecting production, disrupting supply chains and unsettling the financial markets ( Bachman, 2020 Sarkis et al., 2020). Currently, the economic shock arising from this pandemic is still being weighed. These measures have shattered the core sustaining pillars of modern world economies. In efforts to isolate cases and limit the transmission rate of the virus, while mitigating the pandemic, countries across the globe implemented stringent measures such as mandatory national lockdown and border closures. At the time of writing, the virus has killed over 800,000 people worldwide ( JHU, 2020), disrupted means of livelihoods, cost trillions of dollars while global recession looms ( Naidoo and Fisher, 2020). By all accounts, the emerging havoc wrought by the pandemic exceeded the predictions in those commentaries. ![]() In series of revelatory reports ( Daszak, 2012 Ford et al., 2009 Webster, 1997), experts across professional cadres had long predicted a worldwide pandemic would strain the elements of the global supply chains and demands, thereby igniting a cross-border economic disaster because of the highly interconnected world we now live in. Towards the formal pandemic declaration, substantive economic signals from different channels, weeks earlier, indicated the world was leaning towards an unprecedented watershed in our lifetime, if not in human history ( Gopinath, 2020). ![]() Originating from Wuhan, China, cases rapidly spread to Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States as it reached global proportions. The world woke up to a perilous reality on the 11th of March, 2020 when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic ( Sohrabi et al., 2020 WHO, 2020a). Building on evidence in support of CE as a vehicle for balancing the complex equation of accomplishing profit with minimal environmental harms, the paper outlines concrete sector-specific recommendations on CE-related solutions as a catalyst for the global economic growth and development in a resilient post-COVID-19 world. It argues for a rethink of the present global economic growth model, shaped by a linear economy system and sustained by profiteering and energy-gulping manufacturing processes, in favour of a more sustainable model recalibrated on circular economy (CE) framework. The paper diagnosed the danger of relying on pandemic-driven benefits to achieving sustainable development goals and emphasizes a need for a decisive, fundamental structural change to the dynamics of how we live. Against this backdrop, this paper presents a critical review of the catalogue of negative and positive impacts of the pandemic and proffers perspectives on how it can be leveraged to steer towards a better, more resilient low-carbon economy. ![]() These measures have however shattered the core sustaining pillars of the modern world economies as global trade and cooperation succumbed to nationalist focus and competition for scarce supplies. Originating from China, cases quickly spread across the globe, prompting the implementation of stringent measures by world governments in efforts to isolate cases and limit the transmission rate of the virus. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on the 11th of March 2020, but the world is still reeling from its aftermath. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next, dried organic yuzu peel is blended into the bancha mixture.

Recovering from a scleral buckle or vitrectomy There are three types of retinal detachment surgery: scleral buckle, vitrectomy and pneumatic retinopexy. It can take several weeks or months for someone’s vision to fully recover after detached retina surgery, but most discomfort will go away within the first week. A patient’s health condition, type of surgery, detachment severity and detachment location can all factor into the recommended post-op precautions - and how long it takes to get back on their feet.Ĭertain precautions will apply to nearly every patient, while other factors (like expected recovery time) may vary. The detached retina recovery process can be a little different for everyone. Around 5% of patients will develop an abnormal scar tissue reaction following surgery which can cause recurrence of the detachment and usually necessitates further intervention.By Adam Debrowski reviewed by Gary Heiting, OD ![]() The extent of vision recovery is also highly variable and depends on the extent of the initial detachment and how long the detachment had been present. In general, patients can expect to see recovery of vision beginning anywhere from 2-6 weeks following surgery if healing proceeds normally. Additionally, airplane travel is not permitted during recovery due to the effect of altitude on the intraocular gas. This can be challenging, but is critical to the success of surgery. If intraocular gas is used, it will usually be essential for the patient to keep his or her head in a certain position for several days following surgery. The recovery from retinal detachment surgery is variable and depends on the type of procedure performed. Some patients require both a vitrectomy and scleral buckle procedure be performed at the same time for the optimal outcome. Scleral buckle surgery involves placing a silicone band around the eye which also serves to reduce the vitreous traction on the retina. Once this is accomplished, the retina can be re-attached using numerous techniques with specialty gases, fluids and laser treatment. In vitrectomy surgery, the general concept is that the vitreous gel inside the eye is first removed so as to eliminate its ability to pull on the retina. Typically, the patient is able to go home following surgery and is seen in follow-up the next morning. These procedures require a trip to the hospital and are performed by our physicians with the patient asleep under general anesthesia. Surgery for retinal detachment involves two types of procedures, vitrectomy and scleral buckling. In many cases, traditional surgery is a better option and will be recommended. The advantage of this is avoidance of the somewhat greater risk of traditional surgery, along with much improved patient comfort and easier recovery. In some cases, retinal detachments can be very effectively managed without traditional surgery by means of an in-office procedure using laser treatment with or without an injection of a specialized gas into the eye, a treatment called pneumatic retinopexy. Retinal detachments are like fingerprints in that each one is different, and your physician will discuss the considerations around your situation on a case-by-case basis. ![]() In other cases, the repair needs to be performed as urgently as possible. In some cases, it is safe to delay treatment by up to a week or more without a significant concern that the delay will result in any difference in outcome. Treatment is typically recommended either immediately or within several days, depending on the circumstance and type of detachment. The reason for this is that after the retina has separated from the eye wall, it soon begins to undergo permanent structural changes that can reduce the chances for the best recovery of vision. Once the retina has detached, it is important to undergo treatment urgently to re-attach the retina. ![]() ![]() ![]() The America the Beautiful Pass Program - The National Park Service and Federal Recreational Lands Pass Program began in 2007, replacing the National Parks, Golden Eagle, Golden Age and Golden Access passes.
