Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if a drug called netarsudil is safe and able to prevent the development of scar tissue after retinal detachment repair. Patients eligible for this study are those diagnosed with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment deemed at high risk for scar tissue formation (a process called 'proliferative vitreoretinopathy').
The Tender Study is a prospective, open-label, single-center, randomized, investigator-initiated clinical study seeks to investigate the safety and efficacy of the DEXTENZA insert in pediatric patients following retinal surgery or laser treatment under anesthesia.
Based on the progress of cataract surgery, intraocular lens development, vitreoretinal surgery and anesthesia technology in recent years, the purpose of this study is to develop a new type of more accurate and minimally invasive combined surgery for cataract and fundus diseases, and to evaluate the advantages and value of the surgery as well as related complications, so as to minimize the surgical trauma and obtain faster visual function recovery and better patient comfort. To provide new solutions for the growing demand of eye health care.
Results of retinal detachment surgery may be affected in cases with history of previous intraocular surgery.
An explorative study of the Mantis Photonics hyperspectral camera for retinal imaging and estimation of retinal oxygenation. Primary objective: To evaluate the performance of the hyperspectral camera for non-invasive retinal examination in order to improve the diagnosis of diseases affecting the retina or central nervous system. Secondary objective: To investigate the possibilities of the use of a hyperspectral camera for non-invasive retinal examination.
Management of primary retinal detachment due to upper retinal break is one of controversial situation that may face ophthalmologists in vitreoretinal subspecialty.
Intraocular tamponade used in vitrectomy operations may affects retinal function in various mechanisms.
Despite advances in surgical techniques over the recent decades, proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) remains the main obstacle to successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, accounting for nearly 75% of all primary surgical failures. It is characterized by the growth and contraction of cellular membranes within the vitreous cavity and on both surfaces of the detached retina as well as intraretinal fibrosis. The Retina Society classification, modified in 1991 and currently the most widely used, divided PVR into three grades. Grade A is limited to the presence of vitreous haze and pigment clumps. Grade B includes rolled or irregular edges of tear and/or inner retinal surface wrinkling with possible retinal stiffness and vessel tortuosity. Grade C is defined as the presence of full-thickness fixed retinal folds and is further subdivided based on the number of hours involved and the location. Recently, Foveau et al., in a retrospective comparative case series, have demonstrated that performing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling during RRD surgery may increase the anatomical success rate for this indication. The aim of this multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial study is to evaluate the effectiveness of ILM peeling on surgical outcomes in patients with primary macula-off RRD complicated by grade B PVR.
Intravitreal topotecan has anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-fibrotic activity that we hypothesize may exhibit high efficacy for the treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). A high efficacy for intravitreal topotecan has been exhibited in cell cultures of PVR. At the same time, intravitreal topotecan has been routinely used in the treatment of vitreous seeds from retinoblastoma. At doses of 5-30 micrograms per injection, no adverse events have been reported with the use of intravitreal topotecan. Therefore, the current prospective matched phase II trial aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravitreal topotecan for severe PVR in patients with RRD.
Pars-plana vitrectomy (PPV) is the cornerstone of surgical treatment for eyes with complicated proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Anti-VEGF intravitreal injection before PPV has shown a good effect on surgical outcomes. However, many patients present with co-morbidities that contraindicate the usage of anti-VEGF in the pre-operative period. Thus, cryoapplication, an old therapeutic tool for proliferative diabetic retinopathy may be a good alternative. The investigators present herein a comparative study between peripheral retinal cryoapplication and anti-VEGF before vitrectomy for complicated proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
