The Centre for Eye Research Australia is an independent Medical Research Institute, proudly affiliated with the University of Melbourne and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
Our teams are based in discovery research labs, including a state-of the-art genetic engineering hub in East Melbourne and in clinical research spaces in the nearby Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
We are deeply committed to conducting eye research with real-life impact and finding ways to prevent people from going blind.
As an international leader in eye research – ranking in the world’s top 5 for ophthalmology research – we use our world-class knowledge and expertise to achieve better treatments and faster diagnosis of eye disease.
Our goal is to prevent vision loss – and ultimately, find cures to restore sight. As true innovators our scientists are on the brink of new discoveries every day.
With the support of our many partners, funders and philanthropic supporters, we can continue this world-leading research and accomplish scientific breakthroughs previously deemed unachievable.
Our aim is to offer hope to people affected by vision loss and protect the sight of everyone in need.
With CERA, there’s hope in sight!
