Clinical Research Themes |
Diabetic retinopathy is
the
commonest
cause of blindness in
patients below
65 years of age |
 |
|
Age-related macular degeneration
severely affects the quality of
life in elderly patients |
Retinal detachment is common
amongst short-sighted people
and causes blindness if not treated
with
early and successful surgery |
 |
 |
New Intraocular tamponade agents
are developed for the treatment
of difficult
retinal detachments
complicated
by proliferative
vitreroretinopathy |
