Could peeling an extra layer during eye surgery prevent repeat detachment?
Disease control OngoingThis study compares two types of surgery for people with a detached retina. One group gets standard repair surgery, the other gets an extra step where a thin membrane is peeled away. Researchers want to see if this extra step lowers the chance of re-detachment and improves vision…

AI eye scans aim to predict Sight-Threatening complication after retinal surgery
Knowledge-focused By invitation onlyThis study investigates whether advanced eye imaging and artificial intelligence can predict proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), a condition that can cause retinal detachment surgery to fail. Researchers will analyze scans from 100 patients with retinal detachment, some with P…
