Comparing first vs second membrane peeling in retinal detachment
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of removing a thin layer on the retina during surgery for a detached retina. It may help doctors decide which approach works better for people who have not had this problem before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a detached retina that is not complicated by other conditions.
- You have not had severe scar tissue (PVR) on the retina.
- You have not had a macular hole related to the detachment.
- You have not had previous eye surgery for a detached retina (vitrectomy).
- You do not have scarring in the central part of your vision (macula).
- Your doctor has not said you need a scleral buckle (a supportive band around the eye).

This pilot study compares two surgical approaches to close a specific type of eye hole in the macula (the part of the retina responsible for sharp vision). The trial tests whether using tissue from your eye's outer layer works as well as using a membrane from inside the eye.
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 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 trial tests a way to reattach the thin inner layer of the cornea (Descemet's membrane) that can detach after cataract surgery. It may help people who are diagnosed within the first week after surgery.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating an idiopathic epiretinal membrane (a thin layer of scar tissue on the retina). It aims to see whether peeling the inner layer of the retina during surgery leads to better vision and fewer visual distortions.
This study compares two types of surgery for retinal detachment that is more complex—when there are large or multiple holes. One surgery uses a flexible band around the eye, the other removes the gel inside the eye. The goal is to see which works better for medium-complex cases.
