Research
Advances in eye care have been impressive over the last 25 years, but research continues to improve preventive care, eye disease treatments, and surgical techniques. One of The Cincinnati Eye Institute Foundation's three initiatives is to support research that has the potential to lead to sight saving treatments.
Research Studies
Research studies with the University of Cincinnati, Children's Hospital Medical Center, and Cincinnati Eye Institute have received support from CEIF. A few of the areas include age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, and genetic testing.
