Preventing people from losing vision due to glaucoma has been our goal from the beginning. Dr Richard Lewis and his staff have been involved in clinical glaucoma research for the past 25 years. We have continued our research efforts in a variety of projects including studies to:

   1. Understand why people get glaucoma
   2. Develop tests that can make an earlier diagnosis before visual loss occurs
   3. Explore for new medications, surgeries and delivery systems to more effectively treat glaucoma

Our efforts have succeeded with the help of patients who volunteer for clinical trials. The studies are conducted in our office and are supervised by Dr Lewis and his staff.

At the present time (December 2008) we are recruiting patients interested in the following studies:

   1. Punctal Plug Delivery for Glaucoma Medication
   2. Anecortave Medical Treatment for Glaucoma
   3. Canaloplasty Comparison for Glaucoma Treatment
