Research

In addition to providing excellent treatment we also conduct innovative research activities.

Changes in OCT biomarkers following diabetic macular edema treatment

Incidence and prevalence of OCT biomarkers in Diabetic retinopathy

Effect of brolucizumab, ranibizumab and dexamethasone in Diabetic macular edema

Safety and functional outcome of dropless surgery vs topical medication following phacoemulsification

We empower our residents to become the next generation of health care leaders in medical research through mentorship, experiential learning and opportunities for hands on research.

We provide a platform to accelerate clinical research and provide meaningful impact on human health.
