Since its establishment in 1971 by a group of families affected by retinal disease, the Foundation Fighting Blindness has funded research into several of the most serious and common of these conditions, like macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. The foundation grew to become the leading private funder of basic research into conditions that cause blindness and vision loss for more than 10 million Americans and millions more worldwide.
