• Groundbreaking, multidisciplinary basic science and clinical research at Emory Eye Center focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases.

  Our research goal is the translation of laboratory findings into treatments for eye diseases and the prevention of blindness.

  By 2006, almost $6 million in funding provided for 25 clinical trials (9 federal; 16 industry) and 15 federal research grants. A number of “firsts” have occurred at the Eye Center, many during the past 20 years: pivotal clinical trials, innovative treatments and procedures for numerous vision disorders, and the growth of a brilliant research team.
