Welcome to Retina UK
We are a charity supporting people affected by inherited sight loss and investing in medical research to help make their challenges a thing of the past.
Researchers who received funding from Retina UK have carried out experimental gene therapy that is reported to have led to ‘life changing improvements’ to sight for four children with inherited sight loss.
We recently received an update on the latest research into Charles Bonnet Syndrome from Dr Jasleen Jolly as part of a Retina UK podcast about visual hallucinations.
This edition of Look Forward includes the very latest news about an experimental therapy by Retina UK funded researchers, an article about one of our PhD students, a calendar of events in 2025, the usual research news round-up and lots more. Please take the time to complete our Sight Loss Survey, enclosed with this edition. You can find out more about the Survey.
