Retina International is a global alliance of patient-led retina organisations working to preserve and improve vision for everyone living with a retinal condition, no matter where they live.
We unite and amplify the voice of the global retina community to advance research, influence policy, and shape decisions that affect our lives.
Guided by our pillars to Empower, Advocate, and Innovate, we put people affected by retinal conditions at the centre of everything we do, building a connected, informed, and inclusive community driving change worldwide.
We empower our members through education, outreach, and engagement. We share knowledge, experience, and tools so people affected by retinal conditions can confidently represent the patient perspective.
We advocate by uniting and amplifying the global retina patient voice to influence policy and decisions that shape research, healthcare, and access to treatment.
We innovate by advancing patient-centred research that reflects the real-world needs and priorities of our community.
RI has 43 active members made up of patient-led voluntary groups, charities and foundations & all with the common goal of finding cures and treatments for retinal dystrophies by supporting research and innovation.
