Ophthalmology Research Group

Aims

Our main fields of investigation are retinal vascular diseases, mainly the pathophysiology of diabetic macular edema and the pathophysiology and treatment of retinal venous occlusions and retinal detachment. A new surgical technique and the pathophysiology of proliferative vitreoretinopathy are the areas we are focused in this field.

Research Areas

“Retinal vascular diseases ”.
Coordinator: José García-Arumí.
In diabetic retinopathy we are studying the vitreous factors related to macular edema and the efficacy of its new treatments (anti VEGF drugs). In retinal vein occlusions we are assessing the efficacy of the arteriovenous section and the vitreous factors related to macular edema.

“Retinal detachment ”.
Coordinator: Vicente Martínez Castillo.
We have an investigation project to make a model of retinal detachment to develop a surgical technique in order to get an impermeable chorioretinal adhesion at the retinal break border during surgery.
