Abstract
Research supported by the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has contributed to the visual well being of the world. Pertinent citations from the literature were compiled to produce a clinical database reviewing major studies of the NEI and their outcomes.
Using Internet search engines and library resources, clinical NEI studies were reviewed. Their purpose, description, outcome and clinical importance are summarized.
The results of major clinical NEI research are presented and included are the current modalities of treatment for each disease studied.
Each NEI study yielded results upon which current scientific guidelines for the treatment or prevention of ocular disease are based.
