Fight for Sight
Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:
- Can this be stopped?
- How will I live my life?
The merger of Fight for Sight and Vision Foundation and our subsequent rebranding mean we are uniquely placed to answer both questions positively.
As Fight for Sight, we find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight. Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will help us to better understand, prevent, diagnose and treat eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing lives for blind and vision-impaired people.
We are Fight for Sight: we won’t stop until we: Save Sight. Change Lives.
Please come to our exhibition stand to discover more about our journey to date and our ambitious plans for the future.
