Since Fighting Blindness Canada was founded in 1974, it has funded over $40 million in the best, most promising vision research to understand the causes of vision loss and drive treatments and cures for blinding eye diseases.

Investment in research means that there is now a treatment to prevent vision loss for age-related macular degeneration - and today we have the first approved treatment for an inherited retinal disease: a gene therapy that restores sight for a form of leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

If you have questions about your eye health, please call our Health Information Line at 1-888-626-2995.
