The Retina Research Foundation
Bringing Hope, Restoring Sight
At the Retina Research Foundation of America (RRFA), we are committed to funding cutting-edge research, supporting education, and raising awareness for retinal diseases like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and inherited vision disorders.
In partnership with Associated Retina Consultants, who conduct the clinical trials, we help provide the critical funding needed to advance new treatments and life-changing therapies that could preserve sight and restore hope for those affected by vision loss. Our collaboration ensures that the latest research and most promising innovations receive the resources they need to move forward.
We also believe that education is key. The foundation provides patients, families, and donors with vital resources, offering the latest insights into research, clinical trials, and treatment advancements. By empowering our community with knowledge, we help supporters make well-informed decisions about their contributions while deepening their understanding of retinal diseases.
Together, we can turn scientific discovery into real solutions. Join us in the fight to save sight.
