捍卫希望:支持家庭并寻求治疗小儿视网膜疾病的方法
The mission of the Pediatric Retinal Research Foundation (PRRF) is to raise awareness of pediatric retinal diseases, drive research, and support the community of affected individuals and their families.
We aspire to transform lives through cure-focused translational research, and to empower those impacted by rare pediatric retinal diseases to realize their full potential.
基金会以六项核心价值观为指导,这六项价值观定义了我们的身份以及我们努力产生影响的方式:卓越、创新、倡导、参与、包容和仁爱。这些价值观决定了我们的行动,反映了我们以诚信和宗旨服务社区的承诺。

Dr. Trese is an active member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Society of Retina Specialists, Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, and Michigan Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons. He graduated from Michigan State University with a Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine and Boston University School of Medicine with a Master of Art’s in Medical Sciences. Additionally, he is the son of PRRF Founder, Dr. Michael Trese, and is passionate about honoring his father’s legacy through his involvement in the Foundation.
Dr. Trese is widely considered the father of modern pediatric vitreoretinal surgery. In a career spanning more than 40 years, he has been credited with significant breakthroughs and has taught many of today’s leading pediatric retina specialists.
In the 1980s, he revolutionized pediatric vitreoretinal surgery with his concept of lens-sparing vitrectomy for the treatment of complex pediatric retinal detachment due to advanced retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). His techniques have also been applied to diseases such as familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, juvenile X-linked retinoschisis and Coats disease. He led the way to the first FDA-approved drug for pharmacologic vitreolysis.
In addition to his achievements as a medical doctor, his impact on families world-wide through the work of the Foundation is significant. He championed early translational research in the quest for cures, was instrumental in bringing to reality the only research lab dedicated solely to pediatric retinal research and provided hope to countless families. We will continue this work in honor of our Founder, friend and colleague.
