Liquid silicone during eye surgery for retinal detachment
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a new retinal detachment that involves the central part of the retina (the macula).
- Your doctor plans to use gas to hold the retina in place after surgery.
- You have not had this type of retinal detachment or eye surgery before.
- You are able to attend follow-up visits for 3 months and can lie still for eye scans.

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.
This study looks at imaging and blood-based markers to better understand retinal detachment. It aims to find ways to predict how well the retina might reattach after surgery.
This study tests whether putting a gas bubble in the eye before surgery helps people with a detached retina that affects the macula (the part of the eye used for sharp vision). It may help improve vision after surgery.
This trial compares two types of gas bubbles used to keep the retina in place after surgery for a detached retina. One is plain air and the other is a special gas. The goal is to see which works better for helping the retina heal.
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.
This trial looks at whether a detailed eye scan taken before removing silicone oil from the eye can help predict how well your vision will recover after the removal. The goal is to help doctors better plan and set expectations for recovery.
