Vision – Prevention of Blindness is the Cure
When it comes to disease, prevention is always the best cure. That is the premise upon which Retina Research Foundation (RRF) was built, and which continues to be our driving force. Understanding the causes of retinal disease is the first step towards finding cures.
Research – RRF Funding
RRF funds a variety of scientific research through basic science pilot study grants, ongoing university affiliated research projects, and research awards honoring lifetime achievement awards.
Education – Moving Treatment Forward
In addition to funding research, RRF also provides educational opportunities for future scientists and physicians through funding international fellowships and travel scholarships, and in development of retinal disease educational resources for ophthalmologists.
Patient Care – Patients are the Focus
As we move forward, our single focus is always on improving the lives of our patients. They are the true educators who help us learn about eye disease, its effects and response to therapies. They are the ones who challenge us to expand our knowledge and move us closer to our mission of eradicating eye disease.
We accept this responsibility and hope that we may help all those with eye disease live a full life.
