Specializations

Macular Degeneration

The investigator concentrates on both neovascular and atrophic forms of macular degeneration, addressing lesion growth, visual acuity preservation, and disease progression.

  • Neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration treatment strategies
  • Geographic Atrophy inhibition and lesion control
  • Combination therapy with anti‑VEGF agents
  • Long‑term safety of intravitreal delivery systems

Clinical activity includes evaluation of novel intravitreal agents and sustained‑release platforms.

Diabetic Retinopathy and Macular Edema

Focus is placed on retinal vascular leakage and edema associated with diabetes, aiming to improve best‑corrected visual acuity outcomes.

  • Anti‑VEGF comparators for diabetic macular edema
  • Assessment of visual acuity change using ETDRS charts
  • Safety monitoring of intraocular pressure
  • Exploratory inflammatory cytokine profiling

Research integrates efficacy endpoints with safety surveillance in diabetic populations.

Dry Eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Investigations target tear film instability and glandular dysfunction, evaluating both pharmacologic and device‑based interventions.

  • Symptom score reduction in dry eye disease
  • Effectiveness of lid hygiene and artificial tears
  • Adjunctive anti‑inflammatory agents
  • Objective tear cytokine level changes

Clinical trials assess short‑term and sustained improvements in ocular surface health.

Corneal Healing and Neurotrophic Keratopathy

Work includes therapies that promote corneal epithelial regeneration and neurotrophic support, addressing persistent defects and nerve impairment.

  • Topical ophthalmic solutions for neurotrophic keratopathy
  • Gel formulations facilitating corneal re‑epithelialization
  • Evaluation of healing duration ≥28 days
  • Safety profiling of novel corneal agents

Study designs emphasize objective imaging assessments of epithelial closure.

Thyroid Eye Disease and Myopia Control

Research extends to orbital inflammatory disorders and refractive progression, exploring systemic inhibition and low‑dose atropine strategies.

  • Complement component inhibition in chronic thyroid eye disease
  • Subcutaneous dosing regimens for disease modulation
  • Low‑concentration atropine for pediatric myopia progression
  • Long‑term safety and tolerability assessments

These initiatives aim to mitigate tissue remodeling and visual axis changes.
