Current Clinical Trials
+ Cataracts
Bausch & Lomb Viscoelastic for use in cataract Surgery
Cohesive viscoelastics are substances used to maintain space in the eye while a natural lens is removed and an intraocular lens is inserted during cataract surgery. This study compares the safety and effectiveness of a cohesive viscoelastic from Bausch & Lomb (CVisc50) to a control product from and Alcon (ProVisc)
Carl Zeiss Meditec MICOR
Current cataract extraction practice uses phacoemulsification, which is a high-energy ultrasound technology.
This study evaluates the clinical outcomes after use of low-energy micro-interventional irrigation/aspiration port (MICOR-304) to remove the lens prior to intraocular lens insertion in subjects undergoing routine cataract surgery.
Bausch & Lomb Trifocal IOL
We are currently participating in a clinical research study of a new investigational multifocal (Trifocal) intraocular lens (IOL) here in our Bloomington office. Multifocal IOLs have been successfully developed to improve your full range of vision — near, intermediate, and far distances.
+ Dry Eye
Greenlight clinical eye drop for dry eye disease
Dry Eye Syndrome is a common problem causing irritated, scratchy, gritty sensations in the eyes due to insufficient, or poor-quality tears. Dryness can also cause blurred vision.
This clinical trial evaluates the ocular safety, tolerability, and efficacy of topical administration of an eye drop (SURF-200 ophthalmic solution) in patients with a diagnosis of Dry Eye Disease and experiencing an episodic flare up.
+ Fuchs' Dystrophy
Aerie Pharmaceuticals eye drop for Fuch’s Dystrophy
Fuchs' (pronounced fewks) Dystrophy causes fluid buildup in the cornea. This creates swelling and can lead to discomfort, glare, and blurred or cloudy vision.
This study will evaluate the reduction in the corneal swelling after use of the ey drop netarsudil, either once or twice daily, in patients diagnosed with Fuch's Dystophy.
