At the UPMC Vision Institute, our clinical research program is a cornerstone of advancing eye health, integrating innovative clinical trials with multidisciplinary collaboration.
We work closely with basic scientists, harnessing discoveries in genetics, molecular biology, and high-resolution imaging to inform groundbreaking treatments. Our research spans not only clinical divisions including retina, cornea, dystrophies, glaucoma, and comprehensive eye care, but also addressing critical issues such as access to care, low vision, occupational therapy, and social determinants of health.
By partnering with leading researchers, clinicians, and industry experts, we aim to transform patient outcomes and improve vision care globally. Through our clinical trials, we offer patients access to cutting-edge therapies and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of ophthalmology.
