Clinical Retina Research

The main aim of our research is clinical implementation and evaluation of new treatment, and diagnostic modalities for vitreoretinal disorders.

The research group consists of doctors and other health professionals at the Eye Departments of UiO and OUH. We study and treat patients with retinal diseases.

Projects

  • Artificial intelligence for diagnosing retinal diseases
  • The Z-AMD study: A randomized controlled pilot study of zoledronic acid as adjuvant treatment for nAMD

  • The TenCRAOS study: a randomized controlled international multicenter study of trombolysis for central retinal artery occlusion

  • StrokeVIS: a study of prevalence and screening for visual problems in stroke

  • An evidence-based approach to the European visual requirements for driving

  • Individually adjusted screening program for diabetic retinopathy by using different non-invasive measurements and symptoms

  • Development of an adjustable glaucoma stent

  • Intravitreal injections and the development of prefilled syringes for anti-VEGF treatment

  • Endophthalmitis: epidemiology and treatment

  • Project RP11: A collaborating study between Dept. of Microbiology and Dept. of Ophthalmology, Oslo University Hospital. Includes the Natural history study of retinitis pigmentosa type 11 (ReSa study) investigating both clinical and pathophysiological features and progression of retinitis pigmentosa type 11 with the aim of treating the disorder.

  • MIP genetisk analyse av pasienter med retinitis pigmentosa og Lebers kongenitale amaurose: Goal of uncovering the genetic diagnosis of all RP and LCA patients in Norway

  • Clinical and genetic characterization of BEST1-retinal dystrophy in South-East Norway

  • PERCEIVE study: International multicenter study for post approval evaluation of the effect and safety of voretigene neparvovec

  • CELESTE study: A Double-Masked, Randomized, Controlled, Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of QR-421a in Subjects with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) due to Mutations in Exon 13 of the USH2A Gene with Early to Moderate Vision Loss (phase 2/3)

  • SIRIUS study: A Double-Masked, Randomized, Controlled, Multiple-Dose Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of QR-421a in Subjects with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) due to Mutations in Exon 13 of the USH2A Gene with Advanced Vision Loss (phase 2/3)

  • Uveitis registry at OUH

  • Registry of inherited retinal diseases in Norway

  • Automatic grading of retinal images (Kunstig intelligens)

  • Risk stratification in diabetic retinopathy

  • Randomized pilot trial comparing efficacy of adalimumab and tocilizumab in non-infectious uveitis (the @-uveitis study)

  • The application of ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence in the diagnosis and monitoring treatment effect of various retinal diseases and choroidal melanoma

  • Characterizing the genotype, phenotype, health issues, physical functioning and quality of life in adults with Bardet Biedl syndrome

Coopeation

This broad range of methods requires close collaboration with research groups in Norway and abroad.
