New device for sudden retinal detachment repair
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 50 years of age or older.
- Your retinal detachment must be recent and involve the central area of your vision (the macula).
- The retinal tear must be in the upper part of your eye.
- Your other (non-detached) eye must have good vision (20/40 or better).
- You must be able to lie flat on your back for one hour and be willing to attend follow-up visits.

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 is testing a new software tool that helps doctors see and assess different parts of the retina in eye scans. It aims to see how well the tool works in people with and without certain retina conditions.
This trial tests a new type of eye surgery for people with epiretinal membrane (ERM), a condition where a thin layer of scar tissue forms on the retina and distorts vision. The surgery uses a small piece of your own retinal tissue to smooth the surface, which might help improve vision and reduce distortion.
This trial tests a new light-based treatment for intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common eye condition that can lead to vision loss. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps slow down the disease.
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.
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.
