Festive Appeal 2023

Will you help shine a light on genetic eye disease?

Your gift this festive season of will help provide hope to families like Sam’s for a clearer path to a brighter future.

Sam is a vibrant and happy 11 year old who doesn’t let his low vision and photophobia – which causes intense eye discomfort in bright light – slow him down.

Wearing his special glasses which include a coloured filter so he can see, Sam can now admire the clouds. But it wasn’t always this way for Sam and his parents Ronelle and Dave, who struggled to get a diagnosis for Sam’s complex genetic condition.

Research and trials are happening at this very moment in multiple labs and clinics at CERA, giving hope to those living with inherited retinal diseases like Sam.

Improving the overall understanding of inherited retinal diseases will lead to an improvement in diagnosis of rare conditions, as well as helping us find cures for more common conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic eye disease.

With your support, we can provide clarity to families like Sam’s by hastening diagnosis of genetic eye diseases.
