Does the type of eye tamponade affect retinal shift after detachment repair?
NCT ID NCT07495319
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 78 people in Pakistan who had surgery for a detached retina. Doctors compared two types of fillers used inside the eye after surgery—gas or silicone oil—to see if one caused more shifting of the retina afterward. The goal was to learn how the choice of filler might affect vision recovery, not to test a new treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). * Planned management with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). * Age ≥ 18 years. * Willingness and ability to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior vitreoretinal surgery in the study eye. * Tractional or exudative retinal detachment. * Media opacities (e.g., dense cataract, corneal opacity, vitreous hemorrhage) precluding fundus autofluorescence imaging. * Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would preclude safe participation or compliance with study procedures.
