Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether an oral medication (lamivudine) enters the eye and reduces blood markers of inflammation in people who undergo retinal detachment surgery (pars plana vitrectomy).

Participants will take the study medication or placebo, and the researchers will measure blood markers of inflammation before and after surgery. The researchers will also measure the amount of medication in the blood and fluid inside the participant's eye (which is collected during surgery).

Detailed description: Lamivudine is an anti-viral medication that has intrinsic anti-inflammatory properties that could be useful in the treatment of vitreoretinal disease. It is not known whether lamivudine enters the eye after oral administration. The purpose of this study is to measure the intra-ocular concentration of lamivudine after oral administration in participants that require pars plana vitrectomy surgery for repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Participants undergoing retinal detachment surgery will receive oral lamivudine for three days prior to surgery; lamivudine will be measured intra-operatively (vitreous and aqueous humor) and pre-operatively (plasma). Plasma markers of inflammation will be measured before and after surgery.
