An exciting development has occurred in the Department of Ophthalmology. We have established an Ophthalmology Clinical Research Center (OCRC) housed on the third floor of 700 University Blvd. UEC building.

The Ophthalmology Clinical Research Center provides the structure and home for faculty to conduct clinical trials. The Principal Investigators receive administrative and trial coordination support through the OCRC group.

The OCRC group of physicians, nurses, research coordinators, and photographers will coordinate the resources and efforts needed to conduct clinical trials from beginning to end. Patient recruitment, study protocol adherence, patient examination and treatment, analysis of data and trial close-out will all be managed centrally.

Patients, doctors, and sponsors of clinical trials will benefit from our clinical research facility which allows research to be conducted efficiently without disruption of the normal clinical flow.

We are currently enrolling subjects for trials for age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and Uveitis.
