What is being tested?
The study tests if staying face-down for one day after retina re-attachment surgery using C3F8 gas is as effective as seven days of the same posture. It's a phase II trial, meaning it's early in testing but past initial safety checks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from the C3F8 gas tamponade used in retina repair may include discomfort or changes in vision due to positioning, increased intraocular pressure, or cataract formation.
