In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment is a pathological condition in which the inner layers of the retina separate from its outermost layer due to fluid entering between these layers through a retinal tear. Retinal detachment is one of the most urgent conditions in ophthalmology; if left untreated, it leads to severe vision loss and blindness. The only possible treatment is a surgical procedure to close the tear and reattach the separated retinal layers. Currently, three techniques are used for surgically managing retinal detachment with a tear. You will undergo a technique called pneumatic retinopexy. In this procedure, reattachment of the retina is achieved by injecting sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) into the vitreous (the gel that fills the eye) about 4 millimeters from the corneal edge, using a very fine needle. The retinal tear is then closed by either freezing (cryotherapy) immediately
