Now Enrolling Clinical Research Participants

Our clinical research program allows qualified patients to participate in carefully designed clinical trials focused on new treatments for retinal and macular diseases. These studies help advance medical science while providing patients with access to promising therapies that are not yet widely available.

Our research team works alongside experienced retina specialists who understand the complexities of retinal disease and the importance of patient safety. Every clinical trial conducted follows strict medical and ethical guidelines.

Clinical Research Focus Areas

Our research program studies treatments for a range of retinal and macular conditions, including:

Macular Degeneration

Diabetic Retinopathy

Flashes and Floaters

Macular Edema

Why Participate in a Clinical Trial

Clinical trials play an important role in the development of new treatments for vision-threatening diseases. Patients who qualify may benefit from:

  • Access to emerging treatments under physician supervision
  • Care from experienced retina specialists and research professionals
  • Close monitoring of eye health during the study
  • Helping advance medical research that may improve care for future patients

Participation is voluntary, and our team takes time to explain each study so patients can make informed decisions.

What to Expect During a Clinical Research Visit

Patients enrolled in a clinical trial can expect a structured evaluation process that may include:

  • A dilated eye exam and a series of painless tests to assess your overall eye health.
  • A review of your test results with your doctor.
  • Detailed explanation of your condition.
  • Review of treatment options.
  • Answers to questions that you may have regarding your condition and treatment options.
