Retinal Detachment clinical trials are recruiting across 7 cities. Here are the cities with the most active studies:
Retinal Detachment Trial Phases
3 research organizations are sponsoring retinal detachment trials.
About Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment is an emergency condition where the retina separates from the back of the eye, causing sudden vision loss. Risk factors include high myopia, previous eye surgery, and eye trauma. Treatment requires surgery such as pneumatic retinopexy, vitrectomy, or scleral buckle.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for retinal detachment. Currently, 4 studies are recruiting a combined 1,576 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 3 organizations including Cincinnati Eye Institute, Southwest Ohio, Helen Keller Eye Research Foundation, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary.

Retinal Detachment Prevention (Laser Prophylaxis) in Stickler Syndrome (SS)
The goal of this clinical trial is to prospectively document to what extent the OSC/SS prophylactic laser retinopexy procedure works to prevent retinal detachment in SS in children and adults. Researchers will compare the OSC/SS procedure in SS to the natural progression of SS to see to what extent the OSC/SS procedure works to prevent retinal detachment. Participants will: * Have the OSC/SS pr...
Dropless Pars Plana Vitrectomy Study
To demonstrate that intraoperative use of subtenon triamcinolone acetonide at the time of surgery without postoperative eye drops is non-inferior to the regimen of postoperative eye drops following primary pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment.
