Medical Breakthroughs
The breakthroughs in vision research and treatment we are helping to pioneer are substantial. Several procedures have been developed that have resulted in restoring eyesight to some individuals who had lost it through disease or trauma. In addition, we are exploring new ways to bring rehabilitation services to millions of people who are affected by low vision.

From researching diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts, to studying how scar tissue forms in the eye, we're discovering new treatments through partnerships with researchers worldwide.

We also house the world's largest databank of eye injury information. Programs such as this ensure that we remain involved with much more than just medical procedures.

And as the Foundation continues to grow, programs designed to foster similar hearing loss treatments will be developed. Every day brings new advances, and every breakthrough brings new hope.
