Founded as the charitable arm of the ASRS, the Foundation of the ASRS has distinguished itself by empowering patients to safeguard their sight through education while also nurturing the development of next-generation retina leaders.
Your donation to the Foundation will allow us to support:
• Further education, training and mentorship of vitreoretinal leaders
• Public awareness and education activities promoting retina health
Consider an unrestricted gift to help fund Foundation initiatives designed to advance the careers of aspiring retina specialists in their early years in the field.
