Clinical Trials and registries to prevent blindness for Macular Disease [ 2016 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Mark Gillies (Principal investigator)

Brief description Injection of drugs into the eye is an unprecedented breakthrough in the treatment of macular diseases, however many questions must be addressed for our patients with diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration to reap the full benefits. My clinical research unit will conduct our own clinical trials, such as testing a new laser that has never been used in the retina. My observational studies unit will track “real world” outcomes of treatment of retinal disease in a large group of Australians.
