a multi-centre, three-arm, randomised clinical trial. VIPER ...
The VIPER study compares the efficacy of vitrectomy with and without an encircling band for treating pseudophakic retinal detachment (PRD), aiming to determine if adding an encircling band improves outcomes. It also explores if 23/25 G vitrectomy is non-inferior to 20 G vitrectomy. The study involves 14 centers, with experienced surgeons performing the procedures. Primary endpoint is the absence of need for additional retina re-attaching surgery within 26 weeks.
