Official Title: A Phase 3 Multi-centre Double-masked Randomised Controlled Trial of Adjunctive Intraocular and Periocular Steroid (Triamcinolone Acetonide) Versus Standard Treatment in Eyes Undergoing Vitreoretinal S
Brief Summary: Eye trauma is a leading cause of blindness and visual impairment. Penetrating injuries of the eye are more likely to result in poor vision and the main cause of this is a scarring response on the retina (proliferative vitreoretinopathy, PVR) The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of an anti-inflammatory treatment (triamcinolone acetonide) to improve the outcome of surgery in eyes that have suffered severe trauma.There is good evidence from laboratory studies that additional steroid treatment into and around the eye at the time of surgery could reduce scarring by reducing inflammation and improve visual outcomes.
