Welcome (How to use this site? a pinned post)

Evidence based medicine has become the backbone of patient management. As such, the multicentered trials have increasing importance in the way we manage our patients. Therefore, we decided to provide the ophthalmological community with a concise and to-the-point reference to important clinical trials you should be familiar with. How to use this site: Click on the subject lists to see the different trials arranged by subject on the timeline. If you want to dive into the specifics just click on the link (⏩) at the header of each trial and you will be directed either to the manuscript itself or to a site discussing it in detail. You can also search this site using the search box on the left side of the screen ( Google custom search ). Please read our disclaimer and copyright information on the about page . If you have any questions, remarks, corrections: don't hesitate to contact us using the "Contact us" form, at the bottom of each page. Now let's get to work :)...

Are you an old fashioned ophthalmologist?

So if our shorthand and digital summary of the most important clinical trials in ophthalmology is not your cup of tea, and you are looking for the good old hard copy you may want to have a look at the  The Ophthalmology Clinical Trials Handbook .
