Why Are Clinical Trials Important?
Clinical trials are an essential part of medical advancement. By conducting these studies, we help evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments. This ensures that future treatments and therapies are both effective and safe for the public.
Our clinical trial program is focused on advancing medicine for the benefit of all. These carefully monitored studies help discover breakthrough treatments that can improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
The advancements discovered through clinical trials often become the new standard of care, helping not just our trial participants, but countless patients in the future.

Participating in clinical trials gives patients in our local community access to promising, cutting-edge treatments that might otherwise be out of reach. It’s an excellent opportunity to be at the forefront of medical breakthroughs and play a role in improving health care for many future generations.
By conducting trials right here in Chico, we’re strengthening our local medical community and bringing world-class eye care innovation to our neighborhood.
