Active clinical trials for "Retinal Detachment"

Study of novel surgical technic-suprachoroidal buckling for therapy of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.It was excpted to reattached the retina and improve visual function of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients.

To investigate the feasibility and advantages of using pressurized perfluorocarbon liquid (PCL) perfusion to remove vitreous during suction-cutting 23 GA vitrectomy using a dual, dynamic drive (3D)technology, in complicated retinal detachment surgeries.

The study is collecting data along with other academic institutions regarding the accuracy of ocular ultrasound in diagnosing retinal detachment.

Dexamethasone is a medication that has been shown to have clear anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory, and painkilling properties. Dexamethasone is currently used to manage postoperative symptoms of a variety of surgical procedures. However, its effect has not been validated for scleral buckling surgery, which is used to treat retinal detachment, a medical emergency that can lead to permanent blindness. In this study, the investigators will randomly administer dexamethasone to half of scleral buckling surgery patients, and a placebo to the other half. The investigators will then compare the postoperative symptoms of the two groups in order to determine whether dexamethasone should be used for scleral buckling surgeries.

OCT provides high-resolution information regarding the anatomic structure of the tissues of the eye in a 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional view. Much of this information is not able to be recognized by a clinician. Utilizing this information during surgery will allow for ophthalmic surgeons to better understand how surgical procedures impact the anatomic structure of the eye.

A randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effect of face-down posturing on retinal displacement and distortion following retinal detachment repair.

Densiron is used as a tamponading agent for inferior retinal detachment with inferior retinal breaks However, data about the use of Densiron -68 for RRD with multiple retinal breaks; especially if involving both superior and inferior quadrants; are not sufficient.

To investigate the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients that underwent surgery for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to determine variables associated with the disorder. Design: Consecutive prospective observational study.

Uncontrolled single site non randomized non interventional study to determine the safety and efficacy of intravitreal injections of Aflibercept in patients with recent vision loss due to retinal pigment epithelial detachment secondary to AMD

Patients with retinal detachment do not always recover good visual function. Sometimes simple causes are responsible. Other causes can only be discovered thanks to high-resolution imaging provided by the latest generation of OCT. This study is possible thanks to surgical teams who have a strong recruitment potential, with the experience of a joint project in 2007-2008 (PHRC national - Etude DOREMY, Etude FRIENDS) to define more strict intervention criteria. The principal objective of this study is to better define with regard to time: The onset of surgically curable or transient macular affections, and losses in visual acuity that can be qualified as "explained" But above all to better understand the relationships between anatomical analyses obtained using OCT and autofluorescence and functional analysis using visual acuity and microperimetry. In the near future, two techniques (OCT and microperimetry) will certainly become essential tools in the evaluation of macular function. Better understanding of these relationships is the first necessary step in any study concerning the therapeutic prevention of retinal lesions related to retinal detachment: This study will make it possible to define criteria for the evaluation of anatomical and functional recovery, their relationship with each other and finally their evolution over time. This is an essential first phase before possible therapies can be evaluated.
