Summary
This trial compares two methods for fixing a detached retina: injecting a gas bubble versus removing and replacing the eye's gel. One method involves injecting a gas bubble into the eye to reattach the retina. The trial focuses on patients with complex retinal issues. The goal is to see which method works better in terms of reattaching the retina, improving vision, and enhancing quality of life.
