Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight.
In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:
Can this be stopped?
How will I live my life?
We find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight. Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will help us to better understand, prevent, diagnose and treat eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing lives for blind and vision impaired people.
We won’t stop until we: 'Save Sight. Change Lives.'
