Welcome to Zietchick Research Institute, where we develop revolutionary treatments that can prevent retinopathy among women and children.

One of our areas of focus is developing big treatments for little eyes by creating eye treatments for premature infants. Premature babies may be deprived of hormones that are critical to their eye development. We are creating the world’s first eyedrops for premature babies that are designed to replace the lost placental nutrients so that their eyes can develop naturally even outside of the womb. This will help reduce instances of retinopathy of prematurity.

We are also focusing on developing new treatments for proliferative retinopathy. Through our extensive research efforts, we have determined that females with the eye condition have increased hormones in their eyes. We are developing eyedrops that are designed to counteract these excess hormones.

Now, the majority of eye drops on the market are not designed to treat diseases that affect the back of the eye. We plan to utilize nanoparticles to help deliver our drug to the back of the eye, where it can help treat the eye disease.

We hope that through these efforts, we would be one step closer to reducing retinopathy once and for all.

Identifying Early Signs of Amblyopia

Zietchick Research Institute has dedicated years of research in identifying early signs of eye diseases and developing new treatments to combat such diseases. Researchers at the Zietchick Research Institute say that it is crucial to have children as early as three years old get screened and checked for amblyopia, or more commonly known as lazy eye. Studies show that the best time to get children checked for amblyopia is when they are between 3 and 5 years old. This period is crucial because detecting the disease at the earliest time possible makes the treatment more effective and prevents long-term complications, like permanent loss of eyesight. Screening services are offered by vision screeners at nursery schools, kindergartens, and daycare centers. What happens when you suffer from a lazy eye? Lazy eye results in poor vision among children. In most cases, when one suffers from amblyopia, the sight of one eye is clearer and stronger than the other. Hence, the weak eye becomes lazy....
