Eye Diseases and Ocular Physiology

The Association For Innovation And Biomedical Research On Light And Image in Coimbra is conducting clinical trials focused on eye diseases and ocular physiological phenomena. The research is centered on improving vision outcomes and slowing disease progression in conditions that affect the retina and other parts of the eye.

  • Studies in diabetic macular edema and uveitic macular edema aimed at testing new treatment options and comparing them with established care
  • Research in age-related macular degeneration, including atrophic AMD, geographic atrophy, and macular neovascularization, to evaluate therapies that may preserve vision
  • Trials examining visual acuity and other functional eye outcomes to measure how well new approaches improve day-to-day sight

This portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on retinal disease research, with studies designed to assess whether emerging therapies can match or improve current treatments while supporting better long-term eye health.

Immune System Diseases and Eye-Related Inflammation

The site also supports research in immune system diseases that affect the eyes, especially moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease. These trials explore whether new therapies can reduce inflammation and improve visible eye changes linked to autoimmune activity.

  • Clinical research in thyroid eye disease focused on easing symptoms and improving eye appearance and function
  • Studies assessing treatment effectiveness in inflammatory macular conditions where the immune system contributes to vision loss
  • Work aimed at identifying safer and more effective ways to manage immune-mediated ocular disease

At this Clinical Trial Centre, the immune-focused studies complement the retinal programs by addressing eye conditions where inflammation plays a major role in disease burden and quality of life.

Compounds & Molecules Timeline

The time span of clinical-trial activity for the main active substances (IMPs) studied at this site over the last 8 years. Each bar runs from the earliest trial start to the most recent end; a substance with a trial still open has no recorded end and is shown as ongoing.
