Clear Vision Research

Clear Vision Research Combatting age-related retinal degeneration to enable clear vision for all.

Research led by Dr. Riccardo Natoli and his team explores the causes behind the deterioration of the retina, the part of the eye responsible for converting light to an electrical signal that our brain can understand, with age. This degeneration can lead to irreparable loss of retina specific cells causing permanent blindness. We have a 'Clear Vision' of what is required to reduce the progression of these diseases, and have developed a number of potential therapeutics which could prevent retinal degeneration by targeting inflammation and oxidative stress, two major facets of the degenerating retina.

We are delighted to be involved in an upcoming Patient Engagement Event by Retina Australia, delving into the latest advancements in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) research.

Three exceptional speakers will be updating us on their research:

πŸ” Dr. Carla Abbott, (Centre for Eye Research Australia and the The University of Melbourne) will discuss cutting-edge treatments for geographic atrophy, a late stage of AMD.

πŸ”¬ Dr. Adrian Cioanca (Clear Vision Research, The John Curtin School of Medical Research - JCSMR) will present groundbreaking research on targeting inflammation to safeguard against retinal degeneration.

πŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈ PhD student Nick Bariesheff (Clear Vision Research, The Australian National University), will shed light on the significance of exercise in preventing blindness.

This event offers a unique opportunity for patients to stay connected with the latest developments in vision research backed by Retina Australia, and also tour the labs where this research happens. Whether you choose to join us in person or online, prepare to be informed and inspired.
