The American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) has formed the ASCRS Research Council — an internal department that will collaborate with ASCRS members and partners on research trials aimed toward improving patient care and quality of life.
As chair of the new Research Council, ASCRS has chosen Dr. Douglas Reed, chair of the Case Western Reserve Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences.
The Council's first study will reportedly examine the effects of enzymes/detergents on the anterior segment of the eye and is currently funded and underway, led by Dr. Nick Mamalis, director of the Intermountain Ocular Research Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
