ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying three different methods for draining fluid from under the retina in patients who have a specific type of eye condition called rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) that affects the macula, the part of the eye responsible for sharp vision. The goal is to see which technique is most effective at reducing the fluid and preventing complications during and after surgery. The three methods being compared include using the original tear in the retina, making a new opening in the retina for drainage, and using a specific type of fluid to help with the drainage process.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be over 18 years old and have RRD involving the macula, with a recent duration of detachment (less than one month). They should also have certain conditions related to the detachment, like mild proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). However, individuals with other types of retinal detachment, severe PVR, or specific eye conditions will not be included. If you participate, you will receive one of the three treatment techniques and will be monitored for how well the fluid is drained and any possible complications that may arise during your recovery. This study is important because it aims to find the best way to treat this condition and improve outcomes for patients.
