Recruiting studies
- NCT06468397Recruiting
New device for sudden retinal detachment repair
This trial tests a new device for repairing a sudden retinal detachment that affects the central vision. It compares this system to standard surgery, and may be an option if you have a specific type of retinal tear in the upper part of your eye.
East Melbourne, VictoriaAges 50 years+ - NCT06826573Recruiting
Risk factors for eye pressure and retinal detachment after surgery
This study looks at why some patients develop high eye pressure or retinal detachment again after surgery to repair retinal detachment with silicone oil. It aims to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent these complications.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06587945RecruitingPhase 4
Nicotinamide riboside for retinal detachment repair
This trial tests if taking a daily supplement called nicotinamide riboside after retinal detachment surgery can help the eye heal better and see more clearly. It is for people who had a specific type of retinal detachment and have already had cataract surgery.
East Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07027098Recruiting
Liquid silicone during eye surgery for retinal detachment
This trial tests whether using a liquid called perfluorocarbon (PFCL) during surgery helps the retina heal better in people with a specific type of retinal detachment. The goal is to see if it reduces damage to blood vessels in the eye.
Norwich, NorfolkAges 18 years+ - NCT06033703RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Netarsudil Drops After Retinal Detachment Surgery
This study tests whether netarsudil eye drops can prevent vision-threatening scar tissue (proliferative vitreoretinopathy) after retinal detachment repair. If you are having surgery for a retinal detachment, these drops may reduce the risk of complications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06294847RecruitingPhase 3
Ursodeoxycholic acid for better recovery after retinal detachment surgery
This trial tests if adding ursodeoxycholic acid (a bile acid medication) to standard surgery can protect the retina and improve vision after a retinal detachment. It's for people who need vitrectomy surgery and have a detached retina involving the macula.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05863312Recruiting
Study of outcomes after retinal detachment repair
This study looks at how well surgery works for people with a specific type of detached retina (rhegmatogenous retinal detachment). It may help improve how doctors choose and manage treatment, based on what outcomes happen after repair.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06694259Recruiting
Laser vs. freezing for retinal detachment repair
This trial compares two methods (laser or freezing) to seal tears in the retina after a procedure to reattach it. It may help people with a specific type of retinal detachment where the tear is in the upper part of the eye.
SplitAges 18 years+ - NCT06541574RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing scar tissue after retinal detachment surgery
This trial tests if injecting a medication called methotrexate into the eye during retinal detachment surgery can prevent scar tissue from forming. Scar tissue can sometimes cause the retina to detach again, so this treatment might lower that risk.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05523869RecruitingPhase 2
Eye injection medicine after repeat retinal detachment surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests an injection of topotecan into the eye after surgery for retinal detachment that keeps coming back due to scar tissue (proliferative vitreoretinopathy). It may help improve how the retina heals after difficult, repeat operations when vision is usually very guarded.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07500324Recruiting
Searching for new markers in age-related eye diseases
This study looks for proteins in the blood and eye fluids that may help doctors better understand and monitor three common eye conditions: age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment. If you have one of these conditions, or if you are a healthy control with no retinal disease, you may be able to help by giving a small sample of blood or fluid from your eye during a routine procedure.
Roma, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT04129021Recruiting
Eye imaging test with fast detailed scans
This trial studies whether a new, very high-resolution and high-speed eye scan can be used for people with eye problems or for healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better “see” eye structures more clearly to guide care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06997874RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery Comparison for Retinal Detachment Without Prior Cataract Surgery
This trial compares two types of surgery for people with a retinal detachment who still have their natural lens (no prior cataract surgery). One group gets vitrectomy alone; the other gets vitrectomy plus the lens removed at the same time. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
AylesburyAges 50 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+ - NCT07609628Recruiting
Silicon Oil's Effect on Retinal Nerve Function
This study examines how silicon oil (a clear liquid sometimes used to repair detached retinas) affects the electrical function of the retina. Researchers will use special eye tests to measure how well the retina responds to light after treatment.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–70 - NCT07228091Recruiting
Surgery efficiency study for combined eye procedures
This study looks at how efficiently surgeons perform a combined cataract and vitrectomy surgery. It may help improve future surgical techniques. You may qualify if you are already scheduled for this specific type of eye surgery.
ManchesterAges 18 years+ - NCT05331664RecruitingPhase 4
Dropless vitrectomy eye drops for retinal detachment surgery
This trial studies a “dropless” method (fewer post-surgery eye drops) after pars plana vitrectomy, a surgery used to repair a retinal detachment. It may help by improving comfort and simplifying recovery for people having this specific type of retinal detachment repair.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT07081945Recruiting
Human amniotic membrane for inferior retinal detachment
This study tests whether a special membrane (human amniotic membrane) can help repair a detached retina, especially if the tear is in the lower part of the eye. It might be a good option if standard surgery is harder to do because of scarring or a tear's location.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07731984Recruiting
Comparing two eye measurement methods in silicone oil eyes
This study compares two ways to measure eye length in people having surgery for retinal detachment with silicone oil. The goal is to find out which measurement method works better for eyes filled with silicone oil.
SohagAges 18–70 - NCT07146516Recruiting
Preventing retinal detachment in Stickler syndrome with laser
This study tests whether a preventative laser treatment can lower the risk of retinal detachment in people with Stickler syndrome. It's for those who have not yet had a retinal detachment and are healthy enough for the procedure.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT07346560Recruiting
Comparing first vs second membrane peeling in retinal detachment
This trial compares two ways of removing a thin layer on the retina during surgery for a detached retina. It may help doctors decide which approach works better for people who have not had this problem before.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07363889Recruiting
Spring syringe removal of silicone oil
This trial uses a special spring-loaded syringe to remove silicone oil from the eye after a previous vitrectomy surgery. It may offer a simpler way to take out the oil for people who don't have certain eye problems.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT05699096Recruiting
Drug aims to help detached retina and move fluid forward
This trial tests a medication intended to help fix a detached retina and shift the fluid underneath it. You may be considered if you’re an adult with keratoconus and no other active eye conditions.
