Charity Fight for Sight has awarded 10 new research grants totalling a £1.6m investment. They include a clinical fellowship, two early career investigator awards and seven project grants.
The recipients are: John Bladen, Dr Pirro Hysi, Dr Mei Chen, professor David Crabb, professor Alan Stitt, professor Antony Moore, professor Barbara Pierscionek, professor Jugnoo Rahi, Dr Andrew Hopkinson and Dr Claire Harris.
The work, which will be carried out at universities and hospitals around the UK, will focus on a number of the most common causes of sight loss, including AMD, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
Dr Dolores Conroy, director of research at the charity, said: “Currently, there are a huge number of eye conditions that we do not know enough about, which have few treatment options, such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. It is, therefore, crucial that we invest as much as we can into research which could bring us closer to finding a future everyone can see.”
