Eye Care
Building on a legacy of preserving and protecting vision
Blindness and vision loss impact over 1 billion people around the world. From our first discovery in 1948, our scientists have pioneered research on ocular diseases and treatment for the front and back of the eye. Today we're building on our already broad and diverse portfolio with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases of the retina and ocular surface diseases.
Research interests
Each year more people will receive a vision-threatening diagnosis due to aging and lifestyle factors. Our robust research and development approach is anchored in improving the standards of care across multiple disease areas to make a meaningful difference for patients.
Our research, focused on unmet needs, fuels an innovative pipeline of treatments that seek to preserve and protect vision and prevent blindness. Our research interests include:
Improving standards for all
Bridging our understanding of biological processes and the genetic basis of human disease to accelerate ophthalmic drug discovery.
Finding new approaches
Leading innovation in long-acting therapeutic approaches to reduce the treatment burden.
