Ophthalmology | Clinical Studies
The Ophthalmology service currently has two active clinical studies. These are studies involving client-owned animals that fit into the study criteria. There is no risk to the patients and the information provided by the study results could benefit current and/or future patients. A brief description of each study is below.
If you have any questions about a study, or believe your pet could be enrolled, please contact us: eyevet@okstate.edu
