Robotic surgery for vitreoretinal diseases
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial tests a robotic system for eye surgery to treat conditions like vitreous hemorrhage or macular pucker. It may help patients who need a procedure called vitrectomy under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old and have had cataract surgery or no lens in the eye.
- You need a vitrectomy (surgery to remove jelly from the eye) under general anesthesia for conditions like bleeding or scar tissue.
- Your best corrected vision is less than 7/10, and your eye length is within 22 to 26 mm.
- You are able to undergo general anesthesia and are fit for robotic surgery as decided by your surgeon.
- You have health insurance and can attend all follow-up visits.

This study tests a new robot-assisted surgical technique for doing a full-thickness corneal transplant. The goal is to see if the robot can help make the surgery more precise and safer.
This trial tests whether a specific eye surgery plus targeted clot-busting medicine and gas can improve vision after bleeding under the retina from “wet” age-related macular degeneration. It aims to reduce how long the bleeding lasts and help protect the central vision.
This trial tests a new medicine, RRG001, given after vitrectomy surgery for severe diabetic eye disease. It aims to see if the drug is safe and helps prevent vision loss.
This trial compares two treatments for early diabetic retinopathy—a condition where high blood sugar damages blood vessels in the eye. Researchers want to see if removing fluid from inside the eye (vitrectomy) works better than laser treatment to prevent vision loss.
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.
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.
