Information for Interested Study Participants

Thank you for your interest in participating in a research trial at the Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute. The following general information will be helpful if you would like to be a participant.

The research staff from Lighthouse International's Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute is always looking for subjects to participate in their research.

However, not everyone with vision limitations is eligible for these trials. Please refer to the description of each research project to determine if you meet the criteria.

All potential subjects are screened by the research staff based on the particular vision issue they are investigating.

While some studies compensate participants for their involvement, many studies do not provide compensation to participants.

Participation in a study frequently requires travel to Lighthouse International on a regular basis, usually at the participant's expense.

The length of time required for each trial varies, but generally a considerable investment of an individual's time is needed.

If you are interested in being a research participant, please send your request by email to research@lighthouse.org.

Thank you for your interest.
