Dr Lola Solebo stands outside looking u at the sky. She is bathed in sunlight.

Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight.

In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:

Can this be stopped?
How will I live my life?

We find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight. Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will help us to better understand, prevent, diagnose and treat eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing lives for blind and vision impaired people.

We won’t stop until we: 'Save Sight. Change Lives.'

What We Do

  • Every 6 minutes
    a person in the UK hears that they will lose their sight
  • Just 1.2%
    of public investment in medical research goes into eye research
  • 2.7 million
    people will be living with vision loss by 2030. We’ll make sure life after vision loss is not a lonely one
  • Almost £30m
