Disease areas which are discussed comprise glaucoma, retinal dystrophies, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye disease, corneal diseases, cataract and refractive surgery. Results: Unmet needs in the mentioned disease areas are discussed and realistically achievable research projects outlined. Conclusion: Considerable progress can be made in the field of ophthalmology and patient-relevant outcomes in the near future.
