Research

Tennessee Retina is an active participant in many national research trials. The efforts of our physicians and patients have led to the approval of many treatments now considered to be the standard of care, and our continuing involvement in clinical research offers access to new and potentially superior treatments to patients with sight-threatening conditions.

As with all patients, our clinical trial patients are very important to us, and we provide them with exceptional care and attention. Please contact your current eyecare provider to see if you may qualify for one of our studies, or contact one of our Clinical Trial staff members with any questions at (615) 983-6000.
