RetVIC

The main objective of the Retinal Vascular Imaging Centre (RetVIC) is to determine the association of retinal microvascular changes to risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, dementia, kidney and other vascular conditions. RetVIC aims to expand on this area of research and to translate it to clinical use. RetVIC will coordinate and conduct clinical trials and community screening studies, and perform cost-benefit and feasibility analyses to demonstrate the clinical utility of retinal vessel imaging for risk prediction.

The work of Tien Wong and RetVIC was featured on ABC's Catalyst on Thursday 16th November 2006.
