This Christmas, help us bring light to those living in darkness.
Your donation this holiday season will fund vital research into new finding new treatments for inherited retinal diseases, and bring hope to families facing vision loss.
Give the gift of sight. Donate today.
Help us fund two new research projects in 2026.
Research project 1
Development of epigenetic reprogramming technology to treat retinal degeneration
Chief Investigator: Associate Professor Raymond Wong
Project Aim
This project will provide the first proof-of-concept evidence to support epigenetic reprogramming to ‘rejuvenate’ the retina. We expect this project to generate the critical preclinical data for further development of a novel gene therapy to treat blindness caused by loss of photoreceptors.
Research project 2
Selective Activation of Retinal Bipolar Cells Using Freeform Electrical Stimulation
Chief Investigator: Associate Professor Mohit Shivdasani
Project Aim
This project explores a new method called freeform electrical stimulation to restore vision in people with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). Unlike current technologies that target retinal ganglion cells, this approach aims to stimulate bipolar cells, which are crucial for processing visual signals. Experts believe this could lead to clearer, more natural vision.
