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 trial compares using air versus a special gas to hold the retina in place after surgery for a retinal detachment. It may be right for you if you are over 40 and have a small, simple tear in the upper part of your eye.
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 study looks at why some patients develop high eye pressure or retinal detachment again after surgery to repair retinal detachment with silicone oil. It aims to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent these complications.
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 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.
