Where your money goes

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, in 2018-19 we raised £1.23m. We spent over £644,000 in research funding and designated a further £400,000 to a research project to be launched in 2020. We also spent £228,000 on running costs (fundraising, marketing, governance, and overheads), which means we spent 16p to raise every £1. 

You can find out more detailed information about our finances in our reports below.

    • Glaucoma

      Glaucoma

      Glaucoma is the most common cause of sight loss amongst those of working age. Pressure is raised in the eye which damages the optic nerve and increasingly causes sight loss. New treatments, including improved eye drops and surgical techniques to reduce this pressure in the eye are being researched.

    • Age-related macular degeneration

      Age-related macular degeneration

      600,000 people in the UK currently have sight loss caused by AMD and around 70,000 new cases are diagnosed every year.

    • Cataracts

      Cataracts

      Cataracts occur when changes in the lens of the eye cause it to become less transparent. This results in cloudy or misty vision. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness globally but can be easily treated.

    • Uveitis

      Uveitis

      Uveitis is a leading cause of visual impairment in people of working age in the UK. It is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea or uveal tract.

    • Dry Eye Syndrome

      Dry Eye Syndrome

      Dry eye syndrome, or dry eye disease, is a common condition that occurs when the eyes don't make enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to the eyes drying out and becoming red, swollen and irritated. Dry eye syndrome is also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

    • Corneal Dystrophy

      Corneal Dystrophy

      Corneal dystrophy is a collective term that refers to several conditions that cause damage to the cornea. The cornea is the clear tissue at the front of the eye that lets in light and helps focus it on the retina so that we can see.

    • Retinitis pigmentosa

      Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the name given to a group of inherited conditions of the retina that all lead to a gradual progressive reduction in vision.

    • Amblyopia

      Amblyopia

      A lazy eye, also known as amblyopia, is a childhood condition that occurs when the vision in one eye does not develop properly.
