Macular research

Reducing the prevalence of blindness from macular disease

The Macular Research Group aims to develop new treatments for macular disease. Our two research units conduct world-class, patient-oriented research.

The group is made up of two cohesive research units and an innovative outcomes-based Fight Retinal Blindness! (FRB!) registry.
