What We Do

As a global umbrella organisation, Retina International’s work is centred around supporting and enhancing the activities of its membership.

This helps to ensure a common vision exists within the patient-led retina community; to guarantee equitable, immediate and appropriate access to essential healthcare for all people living with retinal conditions.

Retina International (RI) believes that education leading to patient participation in research, updating and influencing policy and producing further education and advocacy resources is key to successful innovation.

In this way, RI’s work is guided by three fundamental pillars which underline everything that the organisation does:

Empower, Advocate, Innovate Graphic

1. Empower

This is our Education, Outreach and Engagement pillar.

Through tailored education as well as information and experience exchange, we empower our members to effectively represent the patient perspective and be better able to influence research and health policy decisions.

2. Advocate

This is our Advocacy and Policy pillar.

We represent the united retina patient voice in above-country decisions that impact the retina patient community.

3. Innovate

This is our Research pillar

We strive to advance research so that it addresses the holistic needs of people affected by retinal conditions.

Patient experience evidence generation underpins all of RI’s pillars​.
