About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Retina Foundation of the Southwest is to prevent vision loss and restore sight through innovative research and treatment.

Our five laboratories are currently participating in more than 60 clinical research studies and providing more than 2,000 vision assessments each year completely free of charge. Our evaluations are unique because many of our testing methods are only available at our facility in Dallas, Texas.
