DISCOVER Study: Microscope-integrated Intraoperative OCT Study

Retinal DiseasesFuchs Endothelial Dystrophy3 more

Optical coherence tomography (OCT )provides high resolution information regarding the anatomic structure of the tissues of the eye in a cross-sectional and 3 dimensional view. Much of this information is not able to be visualized by a clinician. Utilizing this information during surgery will allow for the ophthalmic surgeons to better understand how surgical procedures impact the anatomic structure of the eye. In this study an OCT device that has been built into the microscope (rather than mounted on the side or held in the surgeon's hand) and will be utilized to take images at various milestones during surgery to assess feasibility and potential utility of this technology. Since it is built into the microscope, there are potential significant advantages over a separate system including increased efficiency, improved working distance, and the ability to visualize tissue-instrument interactions.

Duration of Face Down Positioning for Full-Thickness Macular Hole Repair

Macular Holes

A full-thickness macular hole is when there is a small gap that opens in the center part of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of the eye). Following surgical repair of these holes, patients have to lie face down for a number of days and nights. The exact amount of time necessary to position is however unknown. The goal of this randomized feasibility clinical trial is to compare 3 days and nights of face-down positioning to 7 days and nights of face-down positioning following pars plana vitrectomy surgery for full-thickness macular holes on key patient outcomes. This study will be a feasibility study to better inform a future larger clinical trial. Additionally, this investigation will be examining the rates of macular hole closure, patient visual acuity following surgery, patient quality of life, patient compliance, and complication rates.

Simultaneous OCT and B-FAF in Eyes With Alteration of the Foveal Contour

Lamellar Macular HoleLamellar Macular Pseudohole

Some alterations of the foveal contour do not meet the criteria established for the definition of lamellar macular hole on the basis of optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, these alterations may show an appearance, on blue fundus autofluorescence (B-FAF) imaging, reminiscent of lamellar macular hole. The aim of the study is to evaluate in detail these alterations recording simultaneously OCT and B-FAF.

The overall five-year goals of the project are to develop novel technology to provide actionable new information through provision of live volumetric imaging during surgery, improving surgical practice and outcomes. The investigators believe this technology will enable novel ophthalmic and other microsurgeries not possible due to current limitations in surgical visualization.

GaslEss Macular Hole Surgery (GEM): a Feasibility Study

Macular Holes

Macular holes are a hole in the centre of the retina, the light-sensing layer in the back of the eye. They cause a central 'blind spot' in the vision, which can be very disabling for patients. Standard surgery involves injecting a large gas bubble inside the eye. This takes 4-8 weeks to leave the eye. During this time vision is greatly reduced in the eye. This limits patients' ability to drive and work. Gas causes clouding of the natural lens in the eye (cataract). The gas can also raise pressure inside the eye, causing pain and sometimes loss of vision. Patients cannot fly or have certain medicines until the gas absorbs. Critically, most patients position face down for 50 minutes out of every hour for a week after surgery. This is to float the gas bubble onto the macula. Head positioning is particularly difficult. It very often causes pain in the neck, back, arms and legs. Rarely, blood clots can form in the legs and be life-threatening if they dislodge and travel to the lungs. Head positioning also places a large burden on those caring for the patient. The gases are 'greenhouse' gases and cause damage to the environment, for about 3,200 years. This study looks at a new surgical technique for treating macular holes. The new technique aims to make patients' recovery from surgery easier, and safer. The purpose of this study therefore is to compare two treatments: Standard macular hole surgery with gas tamponade Novel macular hole surgery without tamponade Gathering feasibility data to inform a future fully powered trial

Objective Evaluation of Postoperative Positioning in Macular Hole Surgery

Macular Hole

The macular hole formation takes place in the centre of the retina. A closure of the macular hole is believed to take place if the central retinal area is kept dry in the postoperative period. Therefore the eye is filled with a gas mix and the patients are urged to avoid the supine position in the first postoperative days. The investigators have developed a positioning measuring device which can measure the extent of supine positioning time. Patients are to carry the positioning measuring device during the first postoperative 24 hours. Hereby the investigators search new knowledge concerning patients compliance and its relation to macular hole closure.
