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

If you, or a close relative, are living with a genetic sight loss condition, there may be a chance that your children will inherit it.

There are many other ways you can support Retina UK, including raising donations as you shop and sell online, and donating your foreign currency, stamps or shares.

We are proud to work collaboratively with a number of corporate partners to enable our community to live fulfilled lives today as well as supporting the pharmaceutical industry in their mission to develop potential new treatments.

If you have a child with a visual impairment joining your class, you may have questions about how best you can teach and help them.
