Prevent Blindness Foundation
 Australia  |  Research/Dev

To provide excellence in research, education and clinical care to reduce eye disease, improve eye health, and ultimately eliminate preventable blindness in the community.

The life of the Prevent Blindness Foundation began in 1965 when the Australian Foundation for the Prevention of Blindness (Queensland Division) was incorporated. We established the Queensland Eye Institute, which was the realisation of a dream shared by many people who wanted to see world-class eye research take place right here in Queensland. The institute, now located at the Mater Hospital in South Brisbane, houses the clinical rooms, the research laboratories, the medical library, the professional training centre and auditorium and the administration offices of the Prevent Blindness Foundation.
