Home / Foundation @ Glance / Research

The Retina Foundation Research Centre envisions contributing to the newer avenues of eye research. Research occupies a primary place in the activities of Retina foundation.

As an academic hospital, teams of physicians and scientists regularly collaborate to both treat and study disorders affecting the eye.

Our publications include articles and papers, published in peer reviewed journals and chapters in text books. We have edited several national and international ophthalmological textbooks and volumes.

Our institute regularly organizes meets and symposia. These are dedicated towards continued medical education and act as a forum for discussions concerning topics of breakthrough research in ophthalmology.

Currently our research teams are involved in epidemiological, clinical and basic research avenues in all subdivisions of ophthalmology.

We are participating in several, multinational phase 1 and 2 clinical trials.

An ethical approach and adherence to the good clinical practice guidelines are our strengths.
