Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of silicone oil on thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients following pars plana vitrectomy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of silicone oil on thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients following pars plana vitrectomy.

The study will include 60 patients with a temporary silicone oil tamponade who will be surgically treated with pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. All subjects will be subdued to complete ophthalmologic examinations, measurements of the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness by an OCT examination, tests of the visual field with the use of an Octopus computed perimeter (automated static perimetry) and FDT-perimetry - both prior to the surgery, and on control visits for check-up during the postoperative period.

All results provided by postoperative examinations will be compared with one another.

The study is expected to provide data on the effect of the silicone oil on thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer. It is also planned to show possibilities and advantages of OCT as a method of choice in the follow-up of patients with intraocular silicone oil tamponade.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NO IOP

Patients without raised IOP

Optical coherence tomography

Intervention Type OTHER

Optical coherence tomography will be performed in all study patients following pars plans vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. A fellow eye of each patient will serve as a control. Each patient enrolled in a study will receive 4 measurements:

1. On 7th postoperative day
2. On 30th postoperative day
3. On 90th postoperative day
4. On 180th postoperative day

RAISED IOP

Patients with raised IOP

Optical coherence tomography

Intervention Type OTHER

Optical coherence tomography will be performed in all study patients following pars plans vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade. A fellow eye of each patient will serve as a control. Each patient enrolled in a study will receive 4 measurements:

1. On 7th postoperative day
2. On 30th postoperative day
3. On 90th postoperative day
4. On 180th postoperative day

Local medical treatment of raised intraocular pressure

Intervention Type DRUG

In patients with raised intraocular pressure following medications will be employed in order to control the intraocular pressure:

Cosopt (dorzolamide hydrochloride-timolol maleate ophthalmic solution; b.i.d.) Ganfort (Bimatoprost, timolol maleate ophthalmic solution; once daily) Alphagan (Brimonidine ophthalmic solution; b.i.d.) In patients with intraocular pressure less than 27 mmHg Alphagan will be prescribed. In patients with intraocular pressure greater than 27 mmHg either Cosopt, or Ganfort will be prescribed under the discretion of treating physician. If intraocular pressure in patients treated with either Cosopt or Ganfort does not drop under 21 mmHg, Alphagan will be added.
