Born from the Foundation Fighting Blindness, the RD (Retinal Degeneration) Fund was created to help accelerate life-changing outcomes for people with retinal degenerations through direct mission related investments in therapeutic companies. The mission of the Foundation Fighting Blindness is to rapidly drive the research that will lead to preventions, treatments and cures for retinal degenerative diseases – including retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration, Usher syndrome and the entire spectrum of retinal degenerative diseases. Together, these blinding conditions affect more than 200 million people throughout the world.

The RD Fund is changing how the world treats blinding retinal diseases.
