Around 1.7 million Australians have diabetes. On average, one in three of these people have some level of diabetic retinopathy.

 

Regular eye checks are key to detecting the early stages of diabetic retinopathy. But about half of all Australians with diabetes do not get the eye checks they need.

 

Associate Professor Lyndell Lim, leads the Clinical Trials Research at CERA. Her main research interests are clinical studies in the field of uveitis and ocular immunology, and diabetic retinopathy.

 

Her team runs both investigator initiated and sponsored clinical trials that aim to investigate new treatments in a variety of ophthalmic disease.
