New gel use for eye injury surgery
Part of Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special gel used during eye surgery to help people who have severe eye injuries and a detached retina. It may improve surgical outcomes for those with the most serious injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a severe eye injury (score 1 or 2 on the ocular trauma scale)
- You have a detached retina caused by scarring (stage D2 or D3)
- Your vision before the injury was better than it is now

This study tests a new suture-free (stitch-free) hydrogel—a clear gel that helps heal eye surface wounds after surgery—to see if it works safely and effectively. If you have an eye surface disease like a pterygium (growth on the eye) or corneal ulcer (sore on the cornea) that needs surgery, this trial may help determine if this gel can replace traditional stitches.
This study tests a new gel-like device (IXIUM TWIN) used during cataract surgery to protect the eye. It may help make surgery smoother for people with cataracts who are already scheduled for the procedure.
This trial tests if a special type of bandage (hydrocolloid dressing) helps heal wounds after eye or face surgery. The goal is to see if it improves healing and comfort.
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 tests a new clear gel patch that can be applied to corneal wounds (scars on the front of the eye) without needing stitches. The goal is to see if it helps heal corneal damage from injury or infection and is safe to use.
This Phase 2 trial tests an injection of topotecan into the eye after surgery for retinal detachment that keeps coming back due to scar tissue (proliferative vitreoretinopathy). It may help improve how the retina heals after difficult, repeat operations when vision is usually very guarded.
