Epiretinal membrane study in diabetic patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at epiretinal membrane (a thin layer of scar tissue on the surface of the retina) in people with diabetes and diabetic retinopathy. It aims to understand how this membrane affects vision and how it relates to the severity of diabetic eye disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Have epiretinal membrane confirmed by an OCT scan of the eye
- Have diabetes with any level of diabetic retinopathy
- No prior eye injury or surgery (except routine cataract surgery)
- No other eye diseases that affect vision, such as macular hole, high myopia, or age-related macular degeneration

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks how the retina changes after surgery to remove a wrinkled layer (epiretinal membrane). It's for people who already have had cataract surgery and are having the membrane removed because their vision is warped or blurry.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for people with an epiretinal membrane, a thin layer of scar tissue on the retina that can blur or distort vision. The goal is to see if a smaller, less invasive approach is safe and effective.
This trial compares doing ERM surgery right away versus waiting at least 4 weeks to see if your vision stays stable. It may help people decide the safest timing for surgery when the membrane in the retina (ERM) is causing symptoms.
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 study tests combining vitrectomy (surgery to remove the membrane from the retina) with a dexamethasone implant (a tiny steroid that is placed inside the eye to reduce swelling) for people with a specific type of eye membrane and fluid buildup in the center of the retina.
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.
