91ɫƵ Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences Research Study - Inherited Retinal Degeneration Bank
Purpose of study:
This project is being done to collect as much data as possible for future research on inherited retinal degenerations. In the future, other doctors and scientists at this and other medical and research centers may use this health information to learn about different diseases and conditions. Their goal is to improve health and develop new treatments.
What is an inherited retinal degeneration?
An inherited retinal degeneration is an eye condition passed down in families that causes vision loss due to death of photoreceptors.
What is involved in this project?
The study team would collect information about your eyes and health from your medical record and/or past research records. This data would be banked and kept for the purpose of future unspecified research. Banking is storing health information for future research. A bank is the place where it is stored.
Compensation:
Research participants will not be compensated for this project.
You may be eligible to participate in this study if you meet these criteria.
- You are 7 years of age or older.
- You have a diagnosis of an inherited retinal degeneration
