The Queensland Eye Institute Foundation operates Queensland’s largest independent research institute devoted to eye-related health and diseases. Its mission is to reduce eye disease, improve eye health and ultimately eliminate preventable blindness in the community. With no government funding, the Queensland Eye Institute Foundation relies on the generosity of donors to deliver on this commitment. With your help, we can work towards new treatments and cures.
