A Leading Global Center for Retina Research
As the largest retina research center in the United States, we are advancing the future of retina care worldwide. Since 1995, studies conducted by our team — and participation from our patients — have led to the development of 8 vision-saving treatments.
Trials
We give patients access to promising new treatments
Any medicine, device, or treatment that's been approved for public use starts with a clinical trial. Safety and comfort are our top priorities, and a patient enrolled in a trial will receive the highest level of care from an expert team.
Is a clinical trial right
for me?
All patients, even those interested in clinical trial participation, start with a regular appointment with an RCTX physician. Together, you'll discuss your condition and assess whether any of our currently enrolling trials are the right fit for your treatment plan.

“How do you thank someone who is responsible for saving your child's life?”— RCTX Research Patient
