PIONEERING VISION RESEARCH
Advancing the Frontiers of Ophthalmology
Using the tools of 21st century medicine – including genetics, cellular biology, molecular diagnostics and advanced imaging – Bascom Palmer researchers are poised to understand why the eye may become susceptible to disease and how biotechnologies may help to prevent these conditions.

Vision Research Areas
Our goal is to preserve the gift of sight - finding new ways to stop vision loss before it happens and halting the course of blinding disease.
Research Faculty
Learn more about our researchers and their work.
Clinical Research
Clinical research helps find new and better ways to detect, diagnose, treat, and prevent eye disease.
Laboratory Research
Laboratory research is essential for translating new discoveries into patient care for the treatment and prevention of eye disease.
Whole Eye Transplant Initiative
'Moon Shot' Project
Our scientists envision a day in which they can restore the miracle of sight to millions of people through a “scientific Everest” — the transplantation of an entire human eye. One of only four organs that scientists have never been able to successfully transplant, an eye transplant will involve groundbreaking technology that could ultimately restore vision for millions of patients.
