The Children's Eye Foundation is committed to providing funding to early career investigators for innovative projects in vision science that focus on the infant and child's visual system and its disorders, as well as strabismus in adults. Current priority funding areas include neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics and biotechnology.
During its 36+ years the Foundation has granted over $1 million in support of research and education to advance the understanding of, and care for, children with eye and visual system disorders and adults with strabismus.
