Clinical Trials

MCOA is dedicated to advancing the field of Ophthalmology through research, clinical studies and the development of new instruments and techniques. We are engaged in multiple clinical research trials of new therapies for various ophthalmological diseases. You will find information about some of these studies below.

 

A typical clinical trial visit could include the following:

* Note all Procedures are protocol dependent *

Informed Consent Process (We explain and answer all study related questions)
Visual Acuity Testing or Vision Exam
Optical Coherence Tompography (OCT)

Participants of MCOA clinical research will have the newest treatments available to treat related eye problems. We have an expert team comprised of knowledgeable doctors and staff, who will follow you through the trial process. Many of today’s complex eye diseases are genetic and do not yet have effective treatments.  Our research is leading the way for new effective ways to treat current eye diseases. There are many benefits to participating in a clinical trial with us.
