Mission

In pursuit of delivering patients the fastest possible visual restoration gene therapy

More than a million patients worldwide with inherited retinal disease are still waiting for an effective treatment that can end their fear of going blind.
Seeing them firsthand, a mission-driven ophthalmologist founded Restore Vision to develop a gene therapy to stop—even reverse—the disease in its tracks.
We can see a future where this too will be a treatable condition. And we want you to see it too.
