Prof Brien Holden Eye Research Centre
The Prof Brien Holden Eye Research Centre brings together all of LVPEI’s research interests together in the service of improving patient outcomes. Our research focus aims to find new methods to treat eye disease, to better understand why disease occurs, and its progression.
Our approach has two underlying goals: relevance and rigor.
LVPEI is able to sustain our unique approach to research thanks to a strong emphasis on a clinician-scientist model, where all clinicians are encouraged to dedicate about a third of their time to research and related priorities.
Why LVPEI
Our research interests cover the gamut of basic, translational, clinical, and applied research in eye care. Research priorities at LVPEI cover cellular and molecular genetics, stem cells, visual performance and visual optics, biochemistry, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology, public health, technology and engineering.
We are ranked sixth globally in the SCImago institutional rankings for 2024. We are ranked third in Asia, and first in India in the ophthalmology (health) category for our research output. LVPEI is the only Indian eye research institution among the top ten global institutions for ophthalmology research.
