Retinal Detachment Prevention (Laser Prophylaxis) in Stickler Syndrome (SS)
Sponsor: Helen Keller Eye Research Foundation
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to prospectively document to what extent the OSC/SS prophylactic laser retinopexy procedure works to prevent retinal detachment in SS in children and adults. Researchers will compare the OSC/SS procedure in SS to the natural progression of SS to see to what extent the OSC/SS procedure works to prevent retinal detachment. Participants will: * Have the OSC/SS procedure in one or both eyes * Have eye tests * Have genetic testing for SS as needed * Visit the study center 9 times over 5 years for checkups and tests * Have data for the untreated fellow-eye collected and used as study data if available

Interventions
Prophylactic (non-invasive) Laser Retinopexy
Prophylactic laser retinopexy to prevent RD in participants with SS using the indirect ophthalmoscopy (IDO) to place approximately 1500 to 2500 moderate intensity burns to produce encircling grid pattern, placed one burn width apart from 2 MM anterior to the ora serrata, extending to and between the vortex vein ampullae.
