Research &
Clinical Trials
The team at Bay Area Retina Associates is currently conducting multiple Clinical Trials. Through this cutting edge research, we will help improve treatments for those suffering from retinal diseases.
Contact us at our Study Department at 925.265.4146 to learn more about our currently enrolling clinical studies that provide patients with access to the latest treatments for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and other retinal conditions.
Patient Perspective
on Clinical Trials
“My experience with the Studies Department has been very, very good. I come in and am seen almost immediately. The doctors have been communicative, and kept me informed. I responded almost immediately, and the gray I saw in my vision is almost completely gone.”
– Clinical Trials Patient, Gary T.
