NCT03713268
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.
NCT04904679
Prospective, randomized, unmasked interventional study. To evaluate anatomical and functional results through microperimetry in cases of refractory or large macular holes (MH), using amniotic membrane (AM) or internal limiting membrane ( ILM ).
NCT06927544
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the visual and anatomical outcomes of large (410-1000 μm) full-thickness macular holes repair surgery using perfluoropropane (15% C3F8), sulfur hexafluoride (20% SF6) gas tamponade.
NCT05860985
To evaluate the intra-operative efficacy of a new intra-operative viewing device.
NCT06063005
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and translocation surgery compared to the conventional surgical approach for treating large idiopathic macular hole (IMH) through a well-designed prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. This study aims to compare the new surgical approach to the conventional approach in terms of improving visual function, promoting macular retinal anatomical healing, and enhancing patients' quality of life. By conducting this prospective clinical trial, establishing a database, and generating clinical reports and evidence-based medicine on the therapeutic efficacy of the ILM peeling and translocation surgery for large IMH.
NCT05223205
State of the art treatment for idiopathic macular holes consists of pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane staining with a blue colouring dye, internal limiting membrane peeling and filling of the vitrectomized space with a specific tamponade such as air and SF6. Air and SF6 have previously shown similar closure rates, although there was a trend towards lower closure rates in large diameter IMH (Idiopathic Macular Holes) using air. IMH with diameters \< 600 μm are currently believed to have similar closure rates with air and SF6. The investigators want to assess possible effects of the used tamponade (air or SF6) on closure rates and perfusion parameters represented by OCTA (Optical coherence tomography angiography). IMH eyes with a minimum diameter \> 600 μm will be excluded. Two idiopathic macular hole patient groups will therefore be formed: The first group (group 1) will receive air after vitrectomy and membrane peeling, the second group (group 2) will receive 10% SF6 (and 90% air) after vitrectomy and membrane peeling. After recruitment, patients will therefore be electronically randomized to one of the two groups. The groups will then be compared by the means of OCT (Optical coherence tomography) and OCTA. Note: The trial was registered retrospectively on Clinicaltrials.gov after start of recruitment.
NCT04698226
A prospective randomised study comparing the near visual acuity outcomes using Salzburg Reading Desk in pseudophakic patients with idiopathic full-thickness macular hole treated with pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling versus inverted flap technique. The aim of the study is confirm or disprove the hypothesis, that the near visual acuity results of pars plana vitrectomy with inverted flap technique for idiopathic macular hole are not inferior to pars plana vitrectomy with complete internal limiting membrane peeling technique. Patients will be followed for 6 months after the operation and near best corrected visual acuity testing on Salzburg reading desk, distance best corrected visual acuity on ETDRS tables and microperimetry will be performed and compared between both groups. Also the macular hole closure rate and complication rate will be compared between both groups.
NCT04723160
Blindness can be caused by many ocular diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, age-related macular degeneration, pathologic myopia and glaucoma. Without timely diagnosis and adequate medical intervention, the visual impairment can become a great burden on individuals as well as the society. It is estimated that China has 110 million patients under the attack of diabetes, 180 million patients with hypertension, 120 million patients suffering from high myopia and 200 million people over 60 years old, which suggest a huge population at the risk of blindness. Despite of this crisis in public health, our society has no more than 3,000 ophthalmologists majoring in fundus oculi disease currently. As most of them assembling in metropolitan cities, health system in this field is frail in primary hospitals. Owing to this unreasonable distribution of medical resources, providing medical service to hundreds of millions of potential patients threatened with blindness is almost impossible. To solve this problem, this software (MCS) was developed as a computer-aided diagnosis to help junior ophthalmologists to detect 13 major retina diseases from color fundus photographs. This study has been designed to validate the safety and efficiency of this device.
NCT03572725
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized non-inferiority trial, where the macular hole closure rate with intraocular air tamponade is compared to the closure rate with gas tamponade.The patients are randomized to receive either air or gas (26% SF6) as intraocular tamponade, just prior to the intraocular flushing of the tamponade during the vitrectomy procedure. Postoperatively, the patients adhere to the nonsupine regimen for three days, and the tennis ball technique is used during sleep to enhance patients' positioning compliance.

NCT03805763
Observing and describing the surgical effects of different extents of internal limiting membrane peeling combined with internal limiting membrane insertion for macular hole
NCT03383731
This study evaluates the surgical outcomes of inverted internal limiting membrane insertion combined with air tamponade in the treatment of macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in high myopia, and also to compare the treatment efficacy and safety between different surgical approaches of MHRD
NCT03174639
From July 2015 to December 2015, clinical record of 8 consecutive cases of macular hole with retinal detachment in high myopia treated with combined inverted and free ILM flap insertion into the hole were retrospectively reviewed. The anatomical and function outcomes were assessed.
NCT02073266
The primary purpose of the study was to compare the macular hole closure and visual acuity gain following vitrectomy using SF6 gas tamponade with 7 days of face-down positioning versus C3F8 gas tamponade with 14 days of face-down positioning. The secondary purpose was to report, in each group, the cumulative incidence of cataract development 1 year following macular hole surgery and the proportion of complications (\*). ((\*) hypertony, hypotony, retinal tear, retinal detachment and endophthalmitis) This prospective randomized study examined a 3 year period. The first patient was included in January 2010 and the last in November 2011. The 12-month follow-up spread out from March 2011 to December 2012. The first group included 31 patients who had undergone macular hole surgery using SF6 gas and who were advised to stay in face-down position for 7 days postoperatively (SF6 group). These patients were compared to 28 patients who had undergone macular hole surgery with C3F8 gas and who were advised to maintain a face-down position for 14 days. Patients in both groups underwent vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and fluid-gas exchange using either SF6 or C3F8. Preoperative data included the characterization of the hole with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), the best correct visual acuity (VA) recorded in number of letters using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart, classification of the cataract according to the LOCS III and the intraocular pressure IOP. Postoperative data included OCT confirmation of the closure at 6 weeks and 1 year, 1 year's best corrected VA recorded in number of letters (EDTRS chart) and determination of cataract development and extraction as needed.
