Cambridge Eye Trust

Cambridge Eye Trust is a Cambridge-based charity dedicated to helping save sight by supporting and funding eye research, education and initiatives that improve patient care. Its research funding aims to advance the discovery of better treatments for eye conditions, while its education work seeks to inspire the next generation and help doctors in the UK maintain high standards. The Trust also backs initiatives designed to bring clinical innovations to patients more quickly, including the introduction of diagnostic and clinical tools to eye clinics.

Through its grants and fundraising, Cambridge Eye Trust supports work such as research into gene therapy treatments for glaucoma and other diseases. The charity highlights Cambridge-based efforts to address difficult-to-treat glaucoma, prevent damage to optic nerve cells and explore ways to restore function after optic nerve injury. It also supports professional learning and collaboration through events, including ophthalmology seminars and research programmes. Individuals can contribute by donating or pledging support, and the organisation shares updates through its news and newsletter.
