Description:



Macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in those 65 and older. Currently, more than 11 million people suffer from this devastating disease. This number is expected to reach 20 million by the year 2020, which is 1 out of every 5 people. The Macula Vision Research Foundation (MVRF) is a 501 (c)(3) organization leading the way to finding a cure for macular degeneration and other retinal diseases. Since 1997, MVRF has provided in excess of $20 million to fund groundbreaking research projects conducted by the world’s top scientists with the promise of improving the lives of millions of people affected by visual impairment. What makes MVRF unique is that 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to research. All administrative and fundraising expenses are underwritten by the Karen and Herb Lotman Foundation, allowing MVRF to allocate all donations towards finding a cure. Along with funding research, MVRF also provides education and outreach to those with visual impairments through our SupportSightSM seminars and newsletter.
