Clinical Trials

Why Is Research In Ophthalmology Important?

• Enables discovery of improved treatments, surgical techniques and preventive measures for difficult eye treatments.
• Discovers new drugs to treat conditions such as dry-eye, glaucoma, allergies, pink-eye and many more.
• Tries out safe and innovative eye testing to assist in diagnosing other health conditions such as Diabetes, Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis.

A study may or may not help you personally. However, in the future, the results could help others who have health problems. Your voluntary participation is valuable to society.
