The University Of Virginia Department Of Ophthalmology is actively involved in many sponsored clinical trials to test new ophthalmic procedures and treatments. Additionally, many of the faculty members conduct their own research to investigate new treatment options for ophthalmic diseases and conditions. In recent years, the department has participated in clinical trials investigating new treatments for wet age-related macular degeneration, macula edema following central or branch retinal vein occlusions, and glaucoma trabeculectomy. In the Fall of 2007, the department redesigned the Garrette Lab to be used as a separate, more accommodating area to conduct all clinical research.
