Our Mission

At the Ayyala-Sahiner Lab, we are driven by a passion for innovation in ophthalmology. Our mission is to advance eye care by developing groundbreaking technologies that enhance diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. Whether we are exploring novel methods of drug delivery or creating technology for patients to test their visual fields from home, we aspire to develop technologies that can make a meaningful impact in patient lives. By merging cutting-edge science with clinical expertise, we aim to redefine the future of vision care.
