Hope for Phase I Research to Begin for Visual Snow PDF Print E-mail

EOVF is in talks with U.S. based doctors for Phase I research to begin on visual snow. There would first be a case series review. The doctor would go through hundreds of patient charts to find cases of VS that they have seen at the University. Then make a systematic analysis of what they do and don't have in common.

Once a thorough study was complete of that small group it would move to peer-review publication. This will result in testable hypotheses and a wider awareness amongst physicians of the phenomenon.

Phase II would then start by the writing an IRB (institutional review board to do any clinical study, even observational), the analysis, ect. If the hypothesis involves blood flow, USC has the world's most sensitive measure of retinal blood flow (OCT doppler) which is so sensitive as to measure the difference between looking at black or white objects.

We need to raise a sizeable amount of money for this research, and I ask you for your help. Any donation that you canmake today, is going to get us one step closer to the research that we need.
