Can a simple eye test predict who will develop scar tissue after retinal surgery?

NCT ID NCT07386678

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

Summary

This study will enroll 50 adults with a detached retina to analyze their eye fluid and take detailed images before and after surgery. The goal is to find markers that could predict a complication called proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), which can cause vision loss. Participants will receive standard care, with extra non-invasive imaging and a one-time collection of eye fluid during surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a test that predicts which patients are at risk of a complication called PVR after retinal detachment surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The risk model may not be accurate enough for widespread use.
