Retina UK

Retina UK is a charity based in Buckingham, England, that works for people affected by inherited sight loss. This includes conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), Usher syndrome, Stargardt disease and Leber congenital amaurosis.

The organisation funds medical research, as reviewed by an independent Medical Advisory Board (MAB), consisting of specialist scientists and researchers. The group says that they have provided more than £16 million funding to medical research since they were founded in 1976.

They also work to provide information and support for those living with inherited retinal conditions around the United Kingdom, as well as friends, family and the professionals who support them.
