This includes a summary of the trial protocol and the Principal Investigator/Eye Doctor in charge of the trial. 

Our Eye Doctors play an essential role in conducting clinical trials. Are you a medical provider interested in learning more about clinical trials and playing a role in advancing medical knowledge? You can learn more about these clinical trials from any of our PIs, and discuss how you can refer patients to these and other clinical trials.

*Patients would be referred to our research facility only, located in a separate building from The Eye Care Institute, and returned to you for regular eye care.
