WELCOME TO THE

 

FOUNDATION FOR RETINAL RESEARCH

               

 

The Foundation for Retinal Research is committed to finding treatments and cures for Retinal Degenerative Diseases and supporting the lives of affected families.

 

 

 

The Foundation for Retinal Research (FRR) was founded in 1998 at a time when very little was known or published about Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). Families affected by Leber's Congenital Amaurosis had a difficult time acquiring information and making connections to help them understand the eye disorder. The Foundation for Retinal Research has bridged the gap between families and research. This website offers people the most current medical and research information available, connects them to other families and provides links to services related to the field of blindness.
