Spring syringe removal of silicone oil
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This trial uses a special spring-loaded syringe to remove silicone oil from the eye after a previous vitrectomy surgery. It may offer a simpler way to take out the oil for people who don't have certain eye problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had silicone oil placed in your eye during a prior surgery
- Your retina is not detached again
- You have not had scleral buckle surgery
- You have not had glaucoma surgery
- You do not have bleeding problems or a weakened front eye wall (staphyloma)

This study compares two ways to measure eye length in people having surgery for retinal detachment with silicone oil. The goal is to find out which measurement method works better for eyes filled with silicone oil.
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.
This trial studies a surgical technique that may improve vision in people with a detached retina and scar tissue inside the eye. It asks whether removing a thin layer from the retina during surgery helps the retina heal better.
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 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.
This study follows up with people who have previously received a special silicone tube implant in their eye to see how they are doing over time. It aims to check the long-term safety and how well the implant is working.
