Eye scan before silicone oil removal and vision after surgery
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must already be scheduled to have silicone oil removed from your eye after previous vitreoretinal surgery.
- You need a clear eye scan (OCT) that can show the macula, the part of the eye responsible for detailed vision.
- You must be able to come for follow-up visits after the surgery.

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 tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
This trial studies whether a new, very high-resolution and high-speed eye scan can be used for people with eye problems or for healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better “see” eye structures more clearly to guide care.
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.
