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:
- Public awareness and education activities promoting retina health
- Further education and training of vitreoretinal fellows
Consider an unrestricted gift or help fund one of three new Foundation initiatives each designed to advance the careers of aspiring retina specialists in their early years in the field. For more on the new initiatives visit Our Vision in Action.
