This year the Queensland Eye Institute (QEI) Foundation celebrates 60 years of fundraising to support eye health research and education in Australia.
Established in April 1965 as the Prevent Blindness Foundation (Queensland Division), fundraising has always been an important part of the QEI mission, with money used to pay QEI scientists and buy research equipment and supplies.
From humble beginnings in a room at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, the Queensland Eye Institute now operates from a custom-built clinical and research campus in Woolloongabba. Highly skilled ophthalmologists work with research scientists and a clinical trial team towards future cures, while offering advanced treatment options to all Australians.
In our 60th year of working to save sight, we hope support for QEI’s research and education programs will continue. Please give generously.
