VisionforGood Information

The birth of a child with developmental eye anomalies can be devastating for families, bringing with it uncertainties about vision, other medical complications, and possible recurrence in future offspring. Funding our eye genetics research programme is so important to help children and families affected with these conditions, not just in our programme but also worldwide. By improving early diagnosis, treatment and support, we can transform people’s lives. Our improved understanding of these genes and pathways is already leading to better understanding of genetic mechanisms, and will lead to advances in ways to prevent blindness and sight-saving therapies.
