The Eye Foundation

The Eye Foundation is the medical eye specialists' foundation, dedicated to restoring sight and preventing vision loss throughout Australasia. The Foundation supports more than 850 Australian and New Zealand medical eye specialists (ophthalmologists) who are passionate about giving future generations the best vision possible.

The Eye Foundation is a not-for-profit fund raising organisation, which is part of a legacy of more than 150-years of inspired effort by ophthalmologists to restore sight and prevent vision loss. The Eye Foundation was founded in 2002 by The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO ) and is affiliated with The Ophthalmic Research Institute of Australia (ORIA ).

The Eye Foundation provides funding for eye-health research, education and training.  This funding is critical to help address eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and retinal disease.  The Eye Foundation forms alliances and funds sustainable domestic, indigenous and international eye care programs.
