It’s not very often that we come across a researcher working on a project inspired by their own lived experience of a sight loss condition.

Welcome to the winter edition of Look Forward. It’s packed full of news from our Conferences, the latest research news and an interview with Hassina Zeriri, one of our funded PhD students. We have also included details of lots of ways you can get involved with Retina UK over the coming months, along with some suggested festive fundraising for the Christmas period.

Find out more about the difference we made in 2023, because of you.

A guide for professionals. Retina UK is a national charity. We offer information and support to people affected by inherited sight loss to enable them to lead better lives today and fund medical research to accelerate the search for treatments for the future. We also support professionals working with them.

Kathy joined Retina UK as Chair of Trustees in September 2024.

This edition includes exciting news about our Annual and Professionals’ Conferences. We hope as many of you as possible can join us in Manchester, or online, in September. You’ll also find updates about the latest research and a feature on one of our funded researchers, Dr Jörn Lakowski.
