Welcome to the Proctor Medical Group Uveitis Clinic at the Proctor Foundation, where we are dedicated to advancing our understanding and treatment of uveitis—an inflammatory eye condition that affects the uvea (the middle layer of the eye). Uveitis can lead to vision loss if not promptly diagnosed and managed, making our research vital to improving patient outcomes.
At UCSF, our interdisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians is at the forefront of uveitis investigation. By exploring the intricate interactions between the immune system and the uveal tissues—including the iris, ciliary body, and choroid—we aim to uncover novel therapeutic targets and innovative approaches.
Our research encompasses diverse areas such as genetics, immunology, molecular biology, and advanced imaging techniques. Through international collaborations and cutting-edge technologies, we seek to develop personalized treatments that address the varied needs of patients with uveitis.
Clinical research is fundamental to our mission. Through rigorous clinical trials, we evaluate the safety and efficacy of emerging therapies, striving to bring evidence-based treatments to the forefront of uveitis management.
At UCSF, patients are at the heart of our research efforts. By fostering a collaborative environment that encourages knowledge-sharing among patients, caregivers, researchers, and clinicians, we aim to make a meaningful and lasting impact on those affected by uveitis.
Join us on this journey of discovery as we work to deepen our understanding of uveitis and its underlying mechanisms. Together, we envision a future in which uveitis is better understood, more effectively managed, and its impact on patients’ lives is minimized. We appreciate your support in our pursuit of a world without uveitis.
All May See Foundation
The UCSF Department of Ophthalmology and the Francis I. Proctor Foundation for Research in Ophthalmology appreciate the support of the All May See Foundation. Through research, collaboration, and state-of-the-art technology, we work to find answers, drive change, and expand access to vision care.
By fostering unprecedented collaboration among cardiovascular research, neuroscience, bioengineering, epidemiology, global health, and big data on one campus in Mission Bay, we are able to address complex challenges for local patients and communities worldwide.
Science is the meeting of minds, and the Bay Area is where innovative ideas become reality. By partnering with industry leaders, we accelerate the translation of research into life-changing treatments.
