What we do

We are the only UK charity dedicated solely to working for people affected by inherited sight loss.

Our vision is a world where everyone with inherited sight loss is able to live a fulfilling life.

By stimulating and funding medical research, we increase the understanding of these conditions and accelerate the search for treatments for the future.

The information and support we provide helps people lead better lives, today. We ensure no-one with inherited sight loss need feel alone.

We are in the unique position of being small enough to listen and respond to our community’s needs, but with a big enough reputation to make our voice heard by those who matter.

While we are proud of the difference make but we want to do so much more; with our passion and hard work, and the ongoing support of our amazing community, we will make our vision a reality.
