Recruiting studies
- NCT06433284Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for large macular holes
This study compares two ways to repair a large macular hole: one using a hydrogel made from donated amniotic membrane (the tissue that surrounds a baby during pregnancy), and one using a small flap of your own retina. The goal is to see which approach helps the hole close better and improves vision.
Nakhon Si Thammarat, ThasalaAges 18 years+ - NCT06908824Recruiting
No gas bubble for macular hole repair trial
This trial tests if macular hole surgery can be done without a gas bubble in the eye, which might make recovery easier. It is for people who have a macular hole and can lie face-down after surgery.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07318961Recruiting
Using a piece of your own eye tissue to fix a stubborn macular hole
This trial tests whether a small piece of tissue from your own eye (the Tenon's capsule) can be used as a patch to help close a macular hole that hasn't healed with previous surgery or is chronic and large.
Banhā, BenhaAges 18 years+ - NCT07606404Recruiting
Comparing surgical techniques for macular hole repair
This study compares ten different surgical methods for repairing full-thickness macular holes—small breaks in the central part of the retina that blur vision. You'd be in the study to help doctors learn which technique works best at restoring sight.
Almaty, AlmatyAges 18 years+ - NCT07633457Recruiting
Comparing two surgical techniques for macular hole repair
This pilot study compares two surgical approaches to close a specific type of eye hole in the macula (the part of the retina responsible for sharp vision). The trial tests whether using tissue from your eye's outer layer works as well as using a membrane from inside the eye.
Cairo, AbbassiaAges Any age - NCT06927544Enrolling by invitation
Gas bubble treatment for large macular holes
This trial tests a gas bubble procedure to repair large macular holes in people aged 50 and older. It aims to improve vision by closing the hole without traditional surgery.
OdesaAges 50–90 - NCT06685328Enrolling by invitation
Minimal surgery with gel for macular hole
This study tests a new, less-invasive surgery for macular holes. The surgeon uses a tiny gel to help close the hole without removing as much gel-like fluid from your eye as usual. It may help your vision recover with less risk.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06211907Recruiting
Small Macular Holes Treated With Air Only
This study tests whether using just a gas bubble (air) can help close small macular holes, avoiding more complex surgery. It's for people with a small, recent macular hole who haven't had eye surgery before.
Thessaly, ThessalyAges 18 years+ - NCT03713268Recruiting
Using a scan to guide eye surgery in real time
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT05828251Recruiting
Treating a fresh macular hole sooner or later
This study looks at how to manage a full-thickness macular hole that started recently, comparing different timing (“subacute” care) to see which approach helps vision best. You may be considered if your hole is small and new, and you can follow required eye positioning after treatment.
Glostrup Municipality, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06359548Recruiting
Repositioning the retina's inner layer for macular hole repair
This study tests a surgery for people with a small macular hole (a break in the retina's center). The surgeon repositions the inner layer of the retina to help the hole heal. It may be an option if you are between 50 and 80 and have not had eye surgery before.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for macular hole surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting macular hole surgery studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a macular hole surgery trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a macular hole surgery trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
