Happy #WorldSightDay! How did a small group of Michigan doctors and volunteers grow into a global community?
In 1990, Dr. Michael Trese founded what would become the Pediatric Retinal Research Foundation. Our first focus was retinopathy of prematurity. More than 35 years later, we support families affected by seven rare pediatric retinal diseases, across the U.S. and around the world.
Along the way, PRRF-funded research helped launch a potential FEVR therapy, a biobank that gives families answers about hereditary disease, and a pilot grant program for tomorrow's discoveries.
Read through our story below -- and thank you for being part of what comes next.
