NCT ID NCT07363889
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two techniques for removing silicone oil from the eye after retinal detachment repair. About 200 people who previously had silicone oil placed in their eye will be randomly assigned to one of two removal methods: a special vitrectomy machine or a spring-loaded syringe. The goal is to see which method is safer and works better.
