Clinical trials
Take part in research
CERA is an international leader in eye research. Our world-class knowledge and expertise are used to discover better treatments, deliver faster diagnoses, and prevent eye disease.
We conduct clinical studies for a variety of eye conditions including diabetic eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, uveitis and retinal diseases, as well as less common eye diseases.
Clinical trials play a critical role in helping develop new treatments for eye disease, and ensuring they are safe, effective and make a difference for patients.
These trials can lead to breakthroughs in medical understanding, and better ways to help people keep their sight.
Our team is made up of more than 50 eye doctors, study coordinators, scientists and nurses. We are highly experienced, passionate about research, and devoted to patient care.
We collaborate with research organisations, universities, pharmaceutical companies and biotech enterprises from around the world.
We are based in Melbourne, and located at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
Trial location information
The Centre for Eye Research Australia’s new clinical trial centre – Cerulea Clinical Trials – is now open on Level 7 of the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital. Trial participants can take the Blue Lifts up to the Cerulea’s reception.
We are no longer seeing participants at Eye and Ear on the Park.
Get involved
For patients and participants
We need volunteers for our clinical trials, now and in the future. Most people who volunteer have an eye disease or disorder, or are likely to develop one.
Clinical trials vary from short ‘pilot’ or exploratory studies, through to phase I, II, III and IV trials. Trials can take place over a few months, or several years. Each phase of a clinical trial has different goals and methods.
