Brief Summary
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of using hAM patches over the retina to seal inferior retinal breaks. The researchers will evaluate whether hAM patch-assisted vitrectomy improves surgical success rate of retinal reattachment.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Retinal reattachment rate
The percentage of patients who achieved retinal reattachment after undergoing hAM patch-assisted vitrectomy during the 6-month follow-up period.
From enrollment to the end of the 6-month follow-up period.
Visual acuity improvement
The visual acuity improvement 6 months after the surgical procedure measured by Snellen chart.
From enrollment to the end of the 6-month follow-up period.
Study Arms (1)
hAM
EXPERIMENTALThis is a single arm study using literature-reported postoperative outcomes of IRB-RRD patients as the comparator.
Interventions
The hAM stands for human amniotic membrane, which was used to seal inferior retinal breaks after complete vitrectomy.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Subjects having given free and informed consent to take part in the study.
- Subjects between 18 and 70 years old.
- Subjects suffering RRD (both primary and recurrent RRDs) with at least one of these conditions:
- inferior retinal breaks between 4- and 8-o'clock within the detached area regardless of PVR grade;
- requiring retinotomy inferiorly between 4- and 8-o'clock (due to severe inferior PVR or inferior retinal shortening).
You may not qualify if:
- Subjects with RRD with only anterior retina breaks or dialysis and meet the indications for scleral buckling surgery.
- Subjects with RRD whose retinal breaks located between the 4- and 8-o'clock positions and are not involved in the detached area.
- Subjects with pre-existing serious eye diseases (corneal ulcers, glaucoma, uveitis, etc).
- History of epilepsy or serious psychiatric diseases.
- Other conditions that the researcher found improper to be included into this study.
