Information for current volunteers

If you need support or advice regarding your study participation, we’re here to help.

While the quality of the data we collect from our study volunteers is important to us, your health and wellbeing is more important.

Whilst on a study, please contact us as soon as possible if:

  • you’re concerned about your eyes (eg if you’re experiencing reduced vision, have red or uncomfortable eyes, etc);
  • you’re running out of study supplies;
  • you’re unclear on any study instructions we have given you;
  • your general health changes while on the study, even if it is unrelated to your eyes (eg if you’re prescribed a new medication by your doctor, you have an accident etc);
  • you’re unable to make a scheduled study visit or are running late for a visit.

Contact us in any of the above circumstances, or if you have any other questions.
