Every day 250 people in the UK start to lose their sight.
Will you stand with us?
250 people a day. To put that into perspective, that means every 6 minutes in the UK someone hears that they will lose their sight.
In that moment, they face two profound questions:
Can this be stopped?
How do I live my life?
We want to ensure we can answer those questions positively, so we fund science that will stop sight loss and community projects that change lives.
“The two biggest questions my patients ask are: what is the cause of my condition, and is there a treatment? Those questions have become the mantra for my research.”
Our door-to-door fundraising campaign
Our door-to-door fundraising campaign is an exciting opportunity to connect directly with people in their communities, raise awareness of sight loss, and inspire support for Fight for Sight through a regular gift by Direct Debit.
“Of all the funding I’ve received, the small £10,000 grant at the beginning was probably the most impactful."
Researching inherited vision loss
Across the UK, we're funding researchers to better understand, diagnose, prevent and treat vision loss. Go behind the scenes at a Cardiff Lab to discover how we're helping scientists discover new treatments that could one day stop sight loss.
