Research & Clinical Trials

Retina Clinical Trials

Retina Center of Texas is dedicated to providing our patients with the most advanced retinal treatments and advancing the scientific understanding of retinal diseases.

The physicians are constantly evaluating developing medications for their potential impact on the retinal diseases that affect our patients. Every day new treatments are developed that could potentially cure blinding diseases. These medications undergo rigorous testing for efficacy and safety, and those few with the most potential make it to clinical trials. Testing at this stage requires centers that can diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases at the highest level. Bringing these treatments to our patients is an essential service at RCT.

To learn more about our current research protocols and activities, please continue reading about the trials offered below and contact our office at (817) 865-6800 for more information.
