Centre for Eye Research Australia

CERA is closely affiliated with the University of Melbourne Department of Ophthalmology, and is co-located with the Department at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.

This three-way partnership between CERA, the University and the Hospital, is key to the successful translation of CERA’s research from the bench to the bedside. It aims to find solutions for the three major blinding eye diseases that affect Australians – macular degeneration; glaucoma and diabetic eye disease – and to pioneer vision regeneration programs to give hope to people who have lost their sight.
