Short vitrectomy tool for children's eye surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a shorter, 18-millimeter tool for vitrectomy surgery in children. It aims to see if this smaller tool is safe and works well for treating various eye problems in kids.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 18 years old.
- You need vitrectomy surgery (a procedure to remove the gel inside the eye) for conditions like retinopathy of prematurity, eye injury, or other vitreoretinal diseases.
- You can cooperate with detailed eye exams.

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 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.
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 measures eye pressure at the end of a type of eye surgery called vitrectomy. It helps doctors understand how the surgery affects pressure inside the eye.
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.
This study is looking at how well people do after eye surgery for a condition called myopic foveoschisis, which causes a part of the retina to swell. The study will check if your vision improves after surgery and look for signs of complications.
