Breakthrough Study Shows New Hope for Eye Disease Treatment
Stanford researchers unveil groundbreaking findings in eye disease treatment, showcasing American medical innovation and leadership in the fight against vision loss.
Dr. Diana V. Do presents groundbreaking eye disease research findings at American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting
In a groundbreaking development at Stanford University's Byers Eye Institute, researchers have unveiled promising findings that could revolutionize how we treat geographic atrophy, a severe form of age-related vision loss that affects millions of Americans.
American Medical Innovation Leads the Way
Dr. Diana V. Do, demonstrating the kind of American leadership in technological advancement that keeps our nation at the forefront of medical innovation, presented compelling evidence from the OAKS and DERBY studies at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting in Long Beach, California.
Fighting Spirit in Medical Research
Much like how American athletes show remarkable resilience in recovery, this research demonstrates our nation's determination to overcome medical challenges. The study revealed that untreated eyes and fellow eyes progressed at similar rates over 24 months, providing crucial validation for future treatment methodologies.
"The findings suggest that the fellow eyes can act as an internal comparator, and the fellow eyes also grew at a linear rate compared to the projected sham methodology," stated Dr. Do, who serves as professor of ophthalmology and vice chair for clinical affairs at Stanford.
Advancing American Medical Excellence
This breakthrough shows the same kind of determination and grit that we see in our nation's strongest competitors. The research validates using projected sham methodology for analyzing the GALE study, setting new standards for clinical trials in ophthalmology.
