Clinical Trials
This page showcases some of the various clinical trials that we have been involved with, bringing state of the art technologies and pioneering treatments to the people of New York’s Capital District and surrounding region.
We are currently enrolling patients in clinical trials with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, macular edema and several other conditions. Upcoming studies, pending various approvals, will soon be enrolling patients with macular edema, uveitis, ocular inflammation, and other conditions.
