At Bennett & Bloom Eye Centers our number one commitment is to providing you, our patients, first class eye care with understanding and compassion. As part of this commitment our doctors and staff are part of the Kentuckiana Institute for Eye Research, an organization dedicated to clinical research trials that help find new medicines and procedures to treat various eye conditions.

A clinical research trial or study is a scientific investigation that outlines processes to discover, determine or verify how a new medicine, medical device or treatment works in people. Through clinical studies with human volunteers, our doctors can help find new and better ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, control, and treat eye diseases.

Clinical trials are vitally important. There is no other way to make a precise duplication of the human body and its responses to new medications, or to new uses of known treatments. Every clinical trial for a drug or medical device may not lead to a cure, but each can provide another piece of knowledge toward solving the puzzle. The results of this research will help healthcare professionals around the country to better treat many eye diseases and conditions. One of the most important aspects to us is that it gives our patients access to new treatments and therapies.
