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 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.
Clinical Trials
Participation in our trials is completely voluntary. Eligibility will be determined based on a screening process which varies depending on the trial. Find our Observational Clinical Trials and our Interventional Clinical Trials as well as our closed trials below:
Observational Clinical Trials
