01
Ocular Surface & External Eye Disorders
- Dry Eye is a condition characterized by insufficient or unstable tears, leading to chronic irritation, inflammation, and potential damage to the surface of the eye if left untreated
02
Glaucoma & Optic Nerve Disorders
- Glaucoma is a condition, often marked by elevated eye pressure, that damages the optic nerve and can lead to gradual, and sometimes, permanent vision loss if not treated.
03
Retinal & Systemic Eye Diseases
- (including wet-AMD, AMD, DME, GA, BRVO, MESI, NPDR, Inflammatory Retinal Diseases, Inherited Retinal Diseases)
04
Vision & Lens Studies
- Presbyopia is an age-related condition that makes it difficult to see objects up close and/or in dim lighting due to reduced ability of the eye.

FAQ: Answers to Common Study Questions
A clinical trial is a research study that helps doctors learn how new treatments, procedures, or medications work. In ophthalmology, trials often test new eyedrops, injections, or imaging devices to see if they can improve or protect vision.
Clinical trials are how new eye treatments become approved and available to patients. Many eye medications used today were tested in clinical trials. By participating, you will be helping researchers find better ways to prevent or treat eye diseases for future patients.
Every study is reviewed and approved by an independent ethics board and government regulators. These groups make sure the study follows strict safety and ethical guidelines. Your study doctor also monitors your health throughout your participation.
In a clinical trial, visits follow a research schedule, and you may receive an investigational treatment that isn’t yet available to the public. You’ll have more frequent eye exams, and every part of your care is carefully monitored and documented for research purposes.
Each study has specific requirements based on things like your age, eye condition, and medical history. During your screening visit, we’ll perform an eye exam, review your medications, and let you know if you qualify.
No referral is needed. You can contact us directly. If you wish, we can share updates with your regular eye doctor to coordinate your care.
