The Clinical Eye Research Unit Team: Nickie Stangel, Angie Adler, Jennie Perry-Raymond, Kristine Dietzman, and Christopher Smith

The Clinical Eye Research Unit at the University of Wisconsin–Madison has conducted research with human subjects for over 3o years. These trials are designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new, promising procedures aimed at combating ophthalmic diseases. Our department has developed new laser treatments, oral medications, intravenous medications, intravitreal injections, surgeries, vitamins, minerals and devices.

Clinical trials are a valuable means of providing potential alternative treatments for our patients, and in many cases participation in an investigational trial is the only option remaining for patients who have exhausted approved treatment options. Indisputably, our most important role is to guide patients through the treatment of this very difficult condition, offering them not only the most current medical techniques and treatments, but also compassionate and knowledgeable care committed to protecting their safety.
