👁️ Aging & Eye Health: What You Should Know 👁️

As we age, our eyes go through natural changes — but some vision loss is not a normal part of aging.

If you're over 55, it’s important to watch for signs of:

🔸 Macular Degeneration
🔸 Diabetic Retinopathy
🔸 Glaucoma
🔸 Cataracts

Early detection can help preserve your sight — and in some cases, even restore it.

At Erie Retina Research, we offer cutting-edge care at no cost to eligible patients through our clinical trials. Our mission is to ensure that aging Erie residents have access to innovative treatments right here at home.

✅ No insurance required
✅ Transportation assistance available

We’re thrilled to spotlight a remarkable collaboration in ophthalmology!

Dr. Vinit B. Mahajan of Stanford — a pioneer in molecular and proteomic precision medicine — has joined efforts with Erie Retina Research, led by Dr. David Almeida, to bring proteomic innovation directly into clinical trials.

Their joint work at the COPHy 2025 Congress unveiled the revolutionary ClinOmicsAI platform, which analyzes thousands of protein biomarkers from just a few drops of eye fluid to drive more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments.

This partnership is a shining example of how cutting-edge molecular research and community-based clinical trials can come together to transform patient care.
