Silicon Oil's Effect on Retinal Nerve Function
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (a type of retinal detachment where the retina tears and peels away)
- You have not had any previous eye surgery
- You do not have combined traction-rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (a more complex form of detachment)
- You do not have other eye diseases such as glaucoma, advanced myopia, or age-related macular degeneration
- You can focus your eyes steadily during testing (good fixation)
- You are able to cooperate with study procedures and testing requirements

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests whether netarsudil eye drops can prevent vision-threatening scar tissue (proliferative vitreoretinopathy) after retinal detachment repair. If you are having surgery for a retinal detachment, these drops may reduce the risk of complications.
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.
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 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.
