Fighting Blindness is a patient-led charity. Our mission is to cure blindness.
We promote and facilitate the development of treatments and cures for those affected by sight loss caused by retinal degenerative diseases.
Until our mission is accomplished, our counselling and support services continue to be available to people affected directly and indirectly by sight loss. We work in partnership with healthcare, science, industry and government to empower patients to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against blindness.
We are the leading Irish charity funding research into treatments for sight loss. To date, we have invested over €20 million in more than 115 research and clinical projects.
We provide professional counselling and therapeutic services for individuals and families living with vision impairment and blindness. We advocate for equity of access to timely and appropriate diagnosis, healthcare, therapies and support services and, through education and information provision, we work to empower more than 296,601* children and adults in Ireland who are blind or visually impaired.
Over the past 40 years, we have grown from a small support group for families affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP) to a nationally recognised brand.
