The Foundation for Retinal
Research
(FRR) was founded in 1998,
when very little was known
or published about Leber’s
Congenital Amaurosis (LCA).

to help them understand the
eye disorder. The Foundation
for Retinal Research has
bridged the gap between fami¬

www.RetinaResearchfind.org,
offers people the most current
information available, con¬
nects them to other families -
and provides links to services.
