Macular holes

This study tests a new gel made from donated amniotic membrane to treat large macular holes, a condition that blurs central vision. The gel is injected into the eye during surgery to help close the hole. Researchers will compare this method to the standard flap technique in 26 ad…

This pilot study compares two surgical techniques for closing idiopathic macular holes: using a Tenon capsule graft versus the standard internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap. Twenty participants will undergo vitrectomy and be assigned to one of the two groups. The study will meas…

This study is testing ten different surgical methods to repair full-thickness macular holes, a condition that blurs central vision. 120 adults will be randomly assigned to one technique during vitrectomy surgery. The main goal is to see which method closes the hole most often and…

This study tests a new surgical technique for people with macular holes that didn't close after standard treatment. Surgeons take a small piece of the patient's own eye tissue (Tenon's capsule) and use it as a patch to plug the hole. Twenty participants will be followed for 3 mon…

This study tests a tiny gel-like insert placed in the tear duct that releases dexamethasone, a steroid, to reduce pain and swelling after vitreoretinal surgery. It compares the insert to standard steroid eye drops in 30 adults undergoing surgery for conditions like macular holes …

This study compares two surgeries for macular holes, a common cause of vision loss. The standard method uses a gas bubble to help the hole close, but the new technique skips the bubble. Researchers want to see if the new method works just as well and makes recovery easier for pat…

This study compares two surgical systems used for combined cataract and vitrectomy eye surgeries. The UNITY VCS system is being tested against the CONSTELLATION system to see which one surgeons find more efficient in real-world operating rooms. About 180 adults needing combined e…

This study tests a special microscope that takes live 3D images inside the eye during surgery. It aims to help surgeons see better when treating conditions like retinal detachment, macular holes, and cataracts. About 262 people will take part, including healthy volunteers and sur…
