Riga East University Hospital

At Riga East University Hospital, the ophthalmology research portfolio focuses on diabetic macular edema and related chorioretinal vascular diseases, including wet age-related macular degeneration and other retinal conditions. These studies are designed to assess new treatment options, compare their effectiveness with established therapies, and support better vision outcomes for patients.

• Evaluating new therapies for diabetic macular edema and vision preservation
• Comparing treatment effectiveness in wet macular degeneration and other retinal diseases
• Studying safety and handling of eye treatments for chorioretinal vascular disease

The site is contributing to research that aims to improve visual acuity, strengthen ocular safety, and expand options for people living with chronic retinal disease.

The endocrinology and immune system disease research at Riga East University Hospital includes studies in Graves’ disease, with a focus on finding better ways to control thyroid overactivity and maintain stable hormone levels over time. These trials are helping evaluate whether newer treatments can improve disease control and reduce the need for ongoing medication.

• Assessing new treatment approaches for Graves’ disease
• Measuring how well therapy restores and maintains normal thyroid function
• Exploring longer-term disease control in autoimmune thyroid disease

Overall, the research is centered on improving symptom management, supporting sustained euthyroidism, and offering more durable care options for patients with autoimmune thyroid conditions.
