The Society has a commitment to advancing ophthalmic research
in New Zealand.
Funding for grants has been achieved through donations
from New Zealand Ophthalmologists, The Royal Australian
and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists,from suppliers
of ophthalmic equipment and members of the public. The fund
is still small, and contributions to help grow this fund
to achieve a minimum target of one million dollars are
urgently required.
There are many areas of research into the causes, epidemiology,
and treatment of eye disease which we are unable to
address in New Zealand through lack of research funding. The
quality of proposed research undergoes rigorous assessment. The
standards are high and the work is diverse, touching on
many aspects of eye care.
The Society wants to ensure that the benefits of these
investigations can have significant impact upon eye health
in our community in the years to come by being able to improve
the level of funding for ophthalmic research.
