RESEARCH AT THE INSTITUTE

Ophthalmos Research and Educational Institute investigates the effects of omega 3 fatty acids in age related macular degeneration, macular dystrophies and optic neuropathies . We have recently been able to demonstrate that dietary intake of omega 3 fatty acids at a specific dose so that the blood AA/EPA ratio is within a therapeutic range can protect against dry macular degeneration, Stargardt’s disease, glaucoma and ischaemic optic neuropathy in murine models. Dr Tassos Georgiou is the head of the Research department and is currently the Principal Investigator of a multicentre phase 2 clinical study in Europe to investigate the effects of the patented treatment using omega 3 fatty acids on dry macular degeneration and Stargardt disease (MADEOS study). A few examples of our publications : Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in the Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science Journal, Dry Macular Degeneration in the British Medical Journal Ophthalmology. Glaucoma in the Experimental Eye Journal, Stargardt's disease in the Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science Journal and Aging Retina in the British Medical Journal Ophthalmology.

The Research Team at Ophthalmos Research and Educational Institute are dedicated to help people with vision debilitating eye conditions. We are using novel treatments to improve vision in eye pathologies, where currently there is no treatment. We investigate the effects of a patented dose of omega 3 fatty acid formulation against inherited and acquired ocular disorders.
