15th Annual Crock Lecture - Professor Jean Bennett
Join pioneering ocular gene therapy researcher Professor Jean Bennett and CERA scientists for an enlightening discussion about the sight-saving potential of gene therapy at the 15th annual Gerard Crock Lecture.
The Gerard Crock Lecture series honours the memory of renowned ophthalmologist, the late Professor Gerard Crock, inaugural Ringland Anderson Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Melbourne.
Professor Bennett is an international authority on the development of gene therapies to treat inherited retinal diseases, which are the most common cause of blindness in working-age people. She has received numerous international awards including the prestigious Champalimaud Vision Award.
Professor Bennett shares her story leading pivotal research that led to the development of the world’s first approved ocular gene therapy - Luxturna, a treatment for a rare genetic form of childhood blindness Leber Congenital Amaurosis.
Learn about the potential of gene therapy research to transform the lives of people with blinding eye diseases - including the innovative research that is happening here in Melbourne.
The Centre for Eye Research Australia is an independent Medical Research Institute, proudly affiliated with the University of Melbourne and the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital.
We are deeply committed to conducting eye research with real-life impact and finding ways to prevent people from going blind.
With the support of our many partners, funders and philanthropic supporters, we can continue this world-leading research and accomplish scientific breakthroughs previously deemed unachievable.
Our aim is to offer hope to people affected by vision loss and protect the sight of everyone in need.
With CERA, there’s hope in sight.

Mitochondria are tiny organelles present in nearly all human cells. They are like tiny energy packs - converting food into energy that our cells can use. A decrease in energy to our mitochondria can affect every part of our body, including our eyes.

    I have keratoconus on both eyes. I just got crosslinking on my right eye. It was painful for about 3 days but it was manageable. I have been light sensitive but it is going away. My vision has been blurry but as time passes I find I am gaining vision back to what it was. I am only 13 days in but feeling hope. I will go back for my left eye after 2 month's as I was told my vision should return to what it was in one to two months.

I notice I get inflammation around my eyes if I am tired and headaches. I avoid driving at night or being out in the bright sun without sun glasses because I can get migraines. I notice everyone heals differently, though.
