Eye and Vision

Clinical Trials and Research

Clinical trials are studies that assess a patient's response to a medical, surgical, or social intervention. Although they can be expensive and time-consuming, clinical trials for eye diseases and infections are the safest way currently available for creating novel medications and therapies. Specific clinical investigation is required for clinical trials. Typically, concentrations in test tubes and animals are used as the first steps in clinical research. Medicines that have showed promise in these preliminary investigations may be tried on individuals. The only surefire method to determine whether a novel medicine is secure, efficient, and superior to current therapies is to test it in a clinical research.
