The mission of the Retina Foundation of the Southwest is to prevent vision loss and restore sight through innovative research and treatment. Retina Foundation is making a difference in the lives of children and adults living with devastating eye diseases and conditions. Our five laboratories are currently participating in more than 60 clinical research studies and providing more than 2,000 vision assessments each year completely free of charge. Our evaluations are unique because many of our testing methods are only available at our facility in Dallas, Texas. Patients are referred by local ophthalmologists to help in the diagnosis and treatment of their vision loss. Our goal is to continue advancing sight saving treatments to make a lifetime of good vision a reality for everyone.

Every day, we strive to eliminate the world's most deadly infectious diseases.
