Every 6 minutes someone in the UK hears that they will lose their sight.

In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:

Can this be stopped?
How will I live my life?

Your donation can help us to make sure those two questions have positive answers.

Can this be stopped? Currently, research into preventing and treating sight loss receives a mere 1.5% of publicly funded health research grants.

How will I live my life? People who are blind or vision impaired are three times more likely to experience loneliness and isolation than the general population.
