I'm curious....what academic research oppurtunities exist in the field of ophthalmology?

I know AMD is a big one, but what else?

I'd appreciate your input Dr. Doan. 😀

To name a few:

1) Genetics & gene therapy, e.g., RP, Stargardt, LCA, glaucoma, etc...

2) Neuro-protection of ganglion/photoreceptor cell death.

3) Tumor research

4) Cornea genetics and stem cell research

5) Anti-angiogenic drugs and application

6) Diabetes

7) Infectious disease
