Our practice is dedicated to the advancement of patient care through research. We participate in clinical studies to help find solutions for today’s issues in ophthalmology and optometry. Our clinical trials examine the safety and efficacy of a treatment protocol, medication (e.g. eye drops) or device (e.g. contact lenses). If you are interested in a clicinal trial, please contact our office for more information.
