Finding cures for blinding eye diseases
The University of Southampton Gift of Sight Appeal (Exempt Charity No. X19140) was established with the aim of funding world-class research into the prevention and treatment of blindness.
Your generous philanthropic gifts, including Legacies, Direct Debits, one-off gifts and memory donations help our scientists investigate the causes of blinding eye diseases. Conditions include age-related macular degeneration, nystagmus, albinism, RP, Sorsby, Stargardt and corneal conditions.

Grateful thanks to Russell Tribe, a patient who has 'wet' age-related macular degeneration for helping ur scientists put together a document to highlight the lack of funding into eye disease. Thanks to Prof Lotery for his interviews too!
The aims of the vision research group are as follows:
-
To perform world class research to create better treatments and thus prevent blindness
-
To achieve this by attracting sufficient funding to allow the research to proceed quickly
-
To train the next generation of academic ophthalmologists and visual scientists
-
To disseminate our research findings in leading research journals
- To work as a team to achieve these goals
