Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients.

I came away not knowing what the cause is or long term affects will be. The doctor did say I had an enlarged Optic nerve but did not say any more than that.Early In his examination I stated the the yellow spot subsided when his assistant applied the numbing agent. He had no response to my observation. In hind sight, I should have pressed for a response, maybe he did not hear my statement as he progressed though his routine.

The nurse did most of my eye examination she was very good. The Doctor however was not to my liking I think he spent a total of 9 minutes with me? This was my first appointment with the eye doctor my previous Eye Dr at the very least spent 45 minutes to an hour with me doing a thorough examination. I will tell my primary physician who suggested the Cleveland Clinic ophthalmology to me.
