Our research strategy

Scientific research is at the heart of our vision to Save sight. Change lives. We fund brilliant minds delivering impact in eye research. Our research strategy sets out how we’ll do that.

Our Impact

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

Two profound questions demand urgent answers: Can this be stopped? How will I live my life? Fight for Sight exists to answer both questions positively. We fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas, putting change in sight for everyone impacted by vision loss.
