At Retina UK we get many queries from those overseas affected by inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs). Understandably, many want to know about research and how they can get involved. Retina UK does not organise trials or directly recruit participants.

This is the final edition of Look Forward this year and what a year it has been! We’ve had some very positive feedback about our Conferences and the Big Give Christmas Challenge is back - a great opportunity to double your donation at no extra cost to you! We’ve included a handy ‘What’s on’ article which outlines some of our plans for 2026. We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our readers a very Merry Christmas and a happy and fulfilling New Year.
