Research
Eye Surgery Associates (ESA) has extensive experience in clinical trials from Phases I-IV, including first-in- human trials. Over the past 15 years, we have been involved with more than 50 investigator-initiated and pharmaceutical or biotech sponsored studies, including age-related macular degeneration, retinal disease, glaucoma, uveitis, cornea and have recently been licensed to participate in our first GMO study.
We are experienced in measuring ophthalmic endpoints in ophthalmic studies as well as other indications, especially oncology.

We collaborate with CROs, universities, hospitals, trial sites and sponsors, including functioning as an Australian site for global studies
