Join us to hear the latest inherited sight loss research news at a special in-person Retina UK event in Scotland in March.

Dr Birthe Hilgen, a Senior Research Associate at Newcastle University, who is working on Retina UK-funded projects with Prof Majlinda Lako will tell us about the latest news from her project.

You will also learn about the variety of support Retina UK provides as well as how you can get involved with the charity. Retina UK staff and volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions. We’ll even provide a free cuppa!

The event will be held as part of Sight Village, Glasgow at the Science Centre, Glasgow on Tuesday 17 March. Both events are free to attend.

In addition to attending our event, which takes place from 12.00 noon to 1.00pm, you can also browse the wide-ranging exhibition stands from 9.00am to 3.00pm.

All are welcome and we do hope you will join us. By registering your place in advance, you will be entered into a prize draw.

We are excited to be holding this in-person event in Glasgow and look forward to meeting our community there.

Spaces are limited.
