Macular degeneration

Research

Mayo Clinic eye doctors combine patient care with research to expand the understanding of retinal conditions such as age-related macular degeneration. Areas of research include:

• National randomized clinical trials assessing the efficacy and safety of injectable compounds that inhibit the growth of abnormal blood vessels in the eye
• Other clinical trials that study the effects of various interventions, including nutritional supplements with vitamin and mineral combinations, lutein and omega-3 fatty acids
