Fighting Blindness Ireland
Fighting Blindness is a patient-led charity with a vision to cure blindness, support people living with sight loss and empower patients. We are the only Irish charity funding research into treatments for sight loss. To date, we have invested over €18 million in more than 100 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 the 247,000 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 to a nationally recognised brand.
