At Shri Ganapati Netralaya, research is an integral part of our commitment to advancing ophthalmic knowledge, improving patient outcomes and bringing evidence-based innovations into clinical practice.
Shri Ganapati Netralaya – Eye Hospital & Research Centre is committed to developing and promoting ophthalmic research that addresses important clinical problems and contributes to better eye health outcomes.
Our research activities span clinical studies, observational research, surgical outcomes, imaging, diagnostics, genetics and emerging technologies in ophthalmology.
By bringing clinicians, researchers and patients together, we aim to generate meaningful evidence that can support better diagnosis, treatment and prevention of vision-threatening diseases.
Our research programme focuses on clinically relevant questions across multiple areas of ophthalmology.
Research addressing diagnosis, management and outcomes across major ophthalmic conditions.
Evaluation of surgical techniques, safety, effectiveness and long-term patient outcomes.
Research involving modern ophthalmic imaging, diagnostics and objective assessment of disease.
Investigation of inherited retinal and ocular disorders with a focus on genetic understanding.
Exploring technologies that can improve diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring and patient care.
Generating clinical evidence through systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of patient outcomes.
Our research ecosystem brings together clinical expertise, structured data collection and responsible scientific investigation.
Studies designed around clinically meaningful ophthalmic questions.
Structured observation of disease patterns, treatments and outcomes.
Research conducted with appropriate ethical and participant safeguards.
Opportunities for collaboration with clinicians and research institutions.
Research at SGN is supported by a multidisciplinary approach that connects clinical care with scientific investigation.
Patient safety, privacy and ethical research practices remain central to every research activity.
Selected research studies and projects associated with Shri Ganapati Netralaya.
To evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of Eyecyte-RPE™ in subjects with GA secondary to d-AMD.

Advancing Understanding of Inherited Retinal Diseases
Protecting the rights, safety, privacy and dignity of research participants is fundamental to our research programme.
Research involving human participants is subject to appropriate ethical review and oversight before the research begins, wherever applicable.
Participation in research is voluntary. Participants are provided relevant information regarding the research and may ask questions before making a decision about participation.
Certificates and documentation relating to the ethical oversight of research activities at Shri Ganapati Netralaya.
Certificate of approval for research activities.
Additional ethics and research approval documentation.
Understanding inherited retinal disorders can help improve diagnosis, counselling and future opportunities for targeted therapies.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) represents a group of inherited retinal disorders that can lead to progressive visual impairment. Genetic factors play an important role in many forms of the disease.
Research in inherited retinal disease can help improve understanding of disease mechanisms and support appropriate diagnostic and genetic counselling pathways.
Genetic testing may help identify disease- associated genetic variants in selected patients with inherited retinal disorders. Appropriate testing should be considered in the context of clinical evaluation and genetic counselling.
Advances in molecular genetics and retinal science are contributing to research into new approaches for inherited retinal diseases.
These areas include gene-based approaches, molecular therapies, retinal imaging and other emerging strategies. Research findings and treatment availability can change over time.
Research is supported by collaboration between clinical specialists, research professionals and supporting teams.
Clinical expertise and disease-specific research leadership.
Study coordination, documentation, participant follow-up and data collection.
Structured data management and research analysis support.
Academic, clinical and scientific collaborations supporting research.
Current and potential areas for clinical and translational research.
We welcome opportunities to collaborate with academic institutions, hospitals, clinicians, researchers and scientific organisations on meaningful ophthalmic research.
Our research approach is closely connected to everyday clinical practice and the needs of patients.
Research questions are informed by real-world clinical challenges and ophthalmic patient care.
Research aims to generate evidence that can contribute to measurable improvements in diagnosis and treatment.
Participant welfare, communication and informed decision-making remain central to responsible research.
We remain interested in new diagnostic, therapeutic and technological approaches that may improve eye care.
