Clinical studies and innovative therapy

Through the Eye Clinic's study centre, we offer a variety of new, innovative treatment options that are not yet available in routine clinical practice. This provides patients with treatment options for diseases that were previously considered untreatable.

Below you will find the current range of studies offered by the Eye Clinic, sorted by entity and study status. If you have any questions or require further information on individual studies, please do not hesitate to contact our study team.
