is currently no proven treatment for
this sight-stealing disease. Through
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), BOCR is involved in developing
process-effective treatments for GA
which offer hope for patients and their
children.
The Macula Center
has already begun
screening patients
at their Clearwater,
Villages and Lakeland
offices for possible
inclusion in the first
of multiple studies
on potential future
advanced dry (GA)
macular degeneration
treatments. BOCR
aims to provide hope
for patients with a once hopeless
condition who are losing vision, and
for their children who could inherit the
condition.

Drs. Deupree and Tolentino are
unique due to their over 50 years of
combined experience developing novel
treatments for eye and retinal disease
through the clinical trial process.
They have also been involved in the
invention of some of the current
treatments for macular degeneration
and other eye disease.
Their decades of
research experience
and long-standing
reputations why
pharmaceutical
companies and the
FDA select Blue
Ocean Clinical Research
to evaluate
their investigational
drugs and why patients
of BOCR will
be able to access
the therapies of tomorrow today. By
taking part in these studies, patients
will make an important contribution to
disease research, potentially help their
own vision, but more importantly,
develop treatments for vision loss for
their children and future generations.
