Fueling Better Vision

Your Gift Brings Hope and Vision

Imagine a world where we can prevent, treat, and cure blindness and eye disease.

For decades, patients, their families, community members, and people who trained here have made gifts of all sizes. That generosity enables us to create the best possible programs and facilities to save sight.

You can be a part of moving eye care forward.

Donors Fuel Innovation

With your gift, we can: 

  • Develop new treatments for conditions like age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma
  • Bring hope to children facing blinding eye diseases
  • Help children and adults with diabetes keep their vision
  • Ensure people with vision loss stay active
  • Find faster and better ways to diagnose eye disease
  • Train the next leaders in eye care
  • Launch the research of new vision scientists who will give back for years to come

Your Support is Vital

We need partners like you to find the next breakthroughs in vision care. Cures and treatments that start here will benefit our families and communities, and they will expand globally.

Your donation brings hope and the gift of vision to people who need it most.
