Early eye surgery may prevent retinal detachment after bleeding
Disease control CompletedThis study looked at whether early surgery (vitrectomy) or waiting with ultrasound monitoring is better for people with sudden, dense bleeding inside the eye. The goal was to see if early surgery could lower the chance of the retina detaching. Only 8 adults with recent bleeding f…

Could a tiny implant save sight in eye cancer patients?
Symptom relief CompletedThis early-phase study tested a single dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) in 10 people with uveal melanoma who had fluid buildup under the retina after radiation treatment. The goal was to see if the implant is safe and can help reduce the fluid to prevent vision loss. The implant i…

Built-In eye scanner could give surgeons a live 3D view during operations
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study tests a microscope that has an OCT scanner built directly into it, allowing surgeons to take detailed cross-sectional images of the eye during surgery. The goal is to see if this setup is practical and whether the extra visual information helps guide surgical decisions…

Does the type of eye tamponade affect retinal shift after detachment repair?
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 78 people in Pakistan who had surgery for a detached retina. Doctors compared two types of fillers used inside the eye after surgery—gas or silicone oil—to see if one caused more shifting of the retina afterward. The goal was to learn how the choice of filler…

Nearsighted patients studied for retinal detachment risk after cataract surgery
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study followed 609 nearsighted adults who had lens surgery to see if a natural eye change called posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) affects their risk of retinal detachment. Participants were grouped by whether they had PVD before surgery or not, and were monitored for up t…

New study peers into the Eye's recovery after retinal detachment
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study looked at 202 people who had surgery for retinal detachment, a condition where the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye pulls away. Researchers used high-resolution eye scans and vision tests to see how the eye heals over a year. The goal was to better understa…
