Leave a Lasting Impression

Imagine what your world would be like without 100% of your vision.

Picture losing the colorful details of life, like vibrant flowers and magnificent sunsets. Consider a familiar past-time, like reading the newspaper or a favorite book, becoming a new and different experience.

Chances are you or someone you know faces this reality. This year, more than 10 million Americans will be affected by macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, Usher syndrome and other blinding retinal diseases! However, you can help find treatments and cures for these diseases by leaving a contribution to the Foundation in your will, trust or by designating the Foundation Fighting Blindness as a beneficiary in your appropriate account.
