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. With $9.3 million in total funding for vision research, Emory University now ranks 11th in NIH-NEI rankings (FY ’06). 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.
