Macular retinal edema

Researchers compare two corticosteroid treatments for inflammatory macular edema, a condition where swelling in the center of the retina blurs vision. Adults with the condition receive either a subconjunctival injection of triamcinolone or an intravitreal implant of dexamethasone…

This trial tests whether a modified soft contact lens placed on the cornea during vitrectomy, a surgery for retinal disease, keeps the surgical view clearer than the standard method of intermittent saline irrigation. Researchers randomly assign 46 participants to receive either t…

This study is testing a new eye imaging device called the VG200D, which uses advanced technology to take detailed pictures of the eye. Researchers want to see if it works as well as a standard device for measuring parts of the eye in people with glaucoma, retina problems, corneal…

This trial tests whether a higher dose of nepafenac eye drops is better than a lower dose at preventing macular edema—a swelling of the central retina—after cataract surgery. Adults aged 18 to 60 scheduled for cataract surgery will receive either a 0.3% solution once daily or a 0…

This study tested whether a tiny eye insert called DEXTENZA, placed after cataract surgery, works better than standard eye drops alone for reducing pain and swelling. Fifty adults having cataract surgery took part. The insert slowly releases medicine over time, aiming to improve …

This study tested whether playing slow tempo music before and during an eye injection (intravitreal injection) can reduce anxiety and pain. 144 adults took part, with half listening to music and the other half receiving standard care. Researchers measured anxiety using saliva tes…

This 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…

This trial tests a new device called P200TxE that takes detailed images of the back of the eye. Researchers want to see how well it captures images in people with retinal diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration. The study involves adults aged 22 and older who have been dia…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors detect retinal diseases from ultra-widefield eye images. 462 images were read by four eye doctors with different experience levels, both with and without AI assistance. The goal was to see if AI improves accu…

This study looked at how the COVID-19 lockdown changed the health habits and medical care of 1,343 people with chronic conditions like heart disease, multiple sclerosis, and hemophilia. Researchers used phone surveys to track medication use, lifestyle changes, and access to healt…
