ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well two different devices, Icare and Accupen, measure eye pressure compared to the standard method called Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) after patients have undergone vitreo-retinal surgery. The main goal is to see if Icare and Accupen provide measurements that are just as accurate as GAT one day after the surgery. This is important because knowing the right eye pressure can help doctors ensure everything is healing properly.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have had vitreoretinal surgery. However, people with certain eye conditions, like corneal issues or a history of specific eye surgeries, will not be eligible to join. If someone decides to take part, they will have their eye pressure checked using all three devices the day after their surgery. This trial is currently recruiting participants of all genders, and it aims to gather important information that could improve how doctors measure eye pressure after surgery.
