Peeling a retina layer during retinal detachment surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at a specific surgical technique—peeling a thin retina layer—during surgery for a type of retinal detachment. It may help improve how well vision recovers when the detachment affects the macula and is more complex.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- You have a retinal detachment where the macula is off (central vision area is not attached)
- Your retinal detachment also has grade B proliferative vitreoretinopathy (a more complex scarring form)
- You have not had a previous retinal detachment (no past history of it)
- You have not had prior eye surgery other than cataract surgery
- Your detachment is not from an injury (not traumatic), and it is not from a macular hole or other macular diseases like diabetic eye maculopathy or age-related macular degeneration

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.
This study uses imaging and molecular tests to better understand uncomplicated retinal detachment. It may help identify new ways to diagnose or manage this condition.
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.
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.
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.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating an idiopathic epiretinal membrane (a thin layer of scar tissue on the retina). It aims to see whether peeling the inner layer of the retina during surgery leads to better vision and fewer visual distortions.
