The Clinical Vision Research Center (CVRC) works with private, public and industry sponsors to conduct clinical research aimed at advancing vision care. Our clinical research studies spans a variety of areas and fields, from investigating and evaluating novel treatments to examining patient preference and satisfaction. See our Research Spotlight page to learn about our impact.
There is no substitute for the people who participate in clinical research. Volunteers like you are the only way for new treatments to become available to the public.On a more personal level, why should you volunteer for a clinical study?
There are many reasons:
You may help develop new treatments for a condition that affects yourself, a loved one, or friend.
You may be offered treatment options for a condition that are not normally available.
Some studies provide free treatment (i.e., eye exams, contact lenses) or reimbursement for time.
Many people participate because they want a future with better vision health for everyone.
You don’t have to have problems with your eyes to participate in clinical research. Some studies need healthy volunteers.
