Contribute to OPTIC Lab Research Projects

We are committed to advancing innovative ocular research that can be implemented in clinical practice. Each OPTIC research project furthers our goals of developing methods to better understand ocular diseases, especially glaucoma, and designing optimal treatments for patients. While our research projects are carefully planned and supported by existing grants, additional funding is essential to expand our investigations and accelerate breakthroughs. Every contribution helps us move closer to preventing blindness and improving ophthalmic care for patients in Philadelphia and around the world.
