Is CNIB working to eliminate vision loss in future?
CNIB’s public education programs help people to take proactive measures to prevent eye disease. We also invest about $1.25 million each year funding and conducting research, and support education by training scientists in the vision health field at the nation’s foremost universities and health-care centres. Our medical research projects look for ways to cure and treat eye disease. Some recent studies we funded looked at treatments for macular degeneration, retinoblastoma (cancer of the eye) and corneal disease. We concentrate on eliminating future vision loss, as well as providing vital programs and services for those who currently have it.
