Letter From the President

Dear Visitor:

I personally want to welcome you to Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB).  We have created this Web site to be a valuable resource for information on eye disorders, what RPB is doing about them, and how you can join us in our mission.

Much has happened since RPB was founded in 1960. We have seen many dramatic improvements in eye care and groundbreaking advances in research, almost all of which was at least partially made possible by RPB grant support and initiatives.

RPB is proud of its contributions to this history, but our work is far from over. While our challenges have changed over the years, our goal to preserve vision and restore sight remains the same. Your financial support will help us reach that goal, but we also encourage you to expand our base of support by introducing us to your friends and neighbors. Regrettably, everyone knows at least one other person with an eye problem. If we all band together, we will find answers.

Get involved! Explore our Website and connect with RPB.

Wishing you good health,

Diane S. Swift
President
