Prof Jose Cunha-Vaz addressing the European Vision Clinical Research symposium
These are exciting times in the field of retinal research, with a significant number of European-based projects and clinical trials helping to advance current understanding of a broad range of retinal pathologies, according to several speakers at the European Vision Clinical Research Symposium on Clinical Research in Retinal Diseases.
“We believe strongly that many of the developments in ophthalmology which made EURETINA grow from over 300 participants to over 5,000 today are mainly because we now have treatments options for our patients,” said Prof Jose Cunha-Vaz, who chaired the session yesterday at the 16th EURETINA Congress in Copenhagen.
“These treatment alternatives have to be tested and evaluated, and for this we need the commitment of industry and physicians and we also need high-quality clinical trials,” he added.
