Eye Diseases

At Hospital Clinic De Barcelona the Retina department concentrates on eye diseases including diabetic macular edema, diabetic retinopathy and macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion, with trials designed to test innovative injection therapies and novel delivery approaches to preserve or improve visual acuity.

  • Advanced anti‑VEGF injection strategies
  • Suprachoroidal drug delivery platforms
  • Topical agents for non‑proliferative diabetic retinopathy
  • Safety comparisons of intravitreal treatments

These studies aim to enhance treatment effectiveness and safety for patients facing vision‑threatening conditions, supporting the site’s commitment to advancing retinal care.

Respiratory Tract Diseases

In addition to ocular work, the centre conducts research on respiratory tract diseases, specifically bronchiectasis complicated by chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, evaluating new antibody therapies to reduce bacterial burden and improve lung function.

  • Antibody treatment targeting Pseudomonas
  • Strategies for chronic bronchiectasis management
  • Biomarker monitoring of sputum bacterial load
  • Long‑term safety of novel inhaled agents

The goal is to provide more effective options for patients with persistent airway infections, ultimately aiming to enhance quality of life and respiratory health.
