Finding cures for blinding eye diseases
The Gift of Sight Appeal was established with the aim of funding world-class research into the prevention and treatment of blindness. Our office is closed for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic but we are grateful for generous donors who are making on-line gifts. Thank you.
Generous philanthropic gifts, including Legacies and Direct Debits, have helped us increase the number of staff employed in our vision science research group. With your help we are able to train the next generation of academic ophthalmologists and visual scientists, providing them with the equipment they need to undertake their vital sight saving projects.
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
