🧠 Cutting-edge science. Real-world impact.

Live from the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) 2025 Annual Meeting, Dr. David Almeida of Erie Retina Research joined a distinguished panel at this morning’s Anti-VEGF Therapies Conference, sharing expert insights on VEGF-C and VEGF-D–targeted treatments in neovascular retinal disease.

From emerging therapies to real patient outcomes, we’re proud to be part of the conversation driving innovation in retina care.

🔬 Dedicated to Discovery. Committed to Care.

We at Erie Retina Research are excited to contribute to the EyePoint LUCIA clinical trial, which is exploring a potential novel and more durable treatment option for wet AMD. This important study is designed to evaluate efficacy, durability, and safety—with all participants receiving full active therapy, whether in the treatment or control arm.

This real-world approach aligns with our mission to advance care and bring meaningful outcomes to patients with retinal disease both locally and around the world.

Behind every person who loses their sight is someone who puts their own life on hold to help.

Whether it’s a son aiding his father to get dressed, a neighbor guiding someone to the clinic, or a young daughter cooking dinner each night, the effects of visual impairment reach beyond the individual.

At Seva, we know clear vision can lift this invisible burden. A pair of glasses can bring a person’s world into focus. A 15-minute cataract surgery can restore their future. And in the process, the lives of those closest to them are free to work, learn, and help others in need.

Sight changes everything—for the person, for everyone who loves them, and for the community around them.
