Eye pressure clue could sharpen vision after retinal surgery
NCT ID NCT07283614
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether having low eye pressure before surgery changes how well doctors can predict your final glasses prescription after a combined cataract and retinal detachment repair. Researchers will compare two groups of people: those with low eye pressure and those with normal pressure. The goal is to improve surgical planning and visual outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Combined phacovitrectomy with intraocular lens implantation and silicone oil tamponade
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help surgeons better predict vision correction after this type of eye surgery, leading to more accurate glasses or contact lens prescriptions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment, only measures outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) * Single-stage combined phacovitrectomy with clear corneal phacoemulsification with IOL implantation and 25G pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil tamponade in the study eye * Preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) in the study eye measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry: Hypotony group: IOP ≤ 7 mmHg; Normotony group: IOP \> 7 mmHg * Planned silicone oil removal approximately 3 months after the initial combined surgery and ability to attend follow-up for refractive assessment 1 month after silicone oil removal * Age (e.g., ≥18 years) and ability to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Previous intraocular surgery in the study eye * Secondary or complex RRD associated with ocular trauma, uveitis or other active intraocular inflammation, proliferative diabetic retinopathy or other advanced vascular retinopathies, significant ocular malformations or congenital anomalies of the globe or posterior segment, pre-existing advanced glaucoma or uncontrolled ocular hypertension, or other optic nerve pathology that could confound visual and refractive outcomes, corneal opacity, significant corneal irregularity, or media opacity precluding reliable biometry or accurate axial length measurement in the study eye, systemic diseases or autoimmune conditions with known ocular involvement that may affect the retina, choroid, or refraction
