Vision plays an important role in everyday life. It helps us read, drive, recognize faces, and stay connected to the world around us.

Some eye conditions affect the retina, a layer at the back of the eye that helps your brain form images. When the retina is damaged, vision may become blurry or worsen over time. In some cases, this can lead to vision loss.



We study how retinal damage happens and research investigational treatments for these conditions.

Conditions we are researching

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)


DME is an eye condition that can occur in people with diabetes. It develops when damaged blood vessels leak fluid into the retina, causing swelling in the macula. The macula controls sharp, central vision used for activities like reading and recognizing faces.



Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet AMD)


Wet AMD is an advanced form of AMD that can lead to rapid vision loss. It occurs when abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and leak fluid or blood, which can damage central vision.
