Giving Makes Vision Possible
Layton Vision Foundation
One cure, One Vision, Once. For Everyone.
The Layton Foundation is an eye charity dedicated to eradicating curable and incurable blindness in Australia, Oceania and South East Asia. Our Brisbane vision research is focused on single treatment cures suitable for low-resource settings. The Layton charity team members were active in providing clinical services and setting up clinics in the South Pacific before borders were closed, and now focus on the future of eye health by developing new, minimally invasive therapies that can treat a family, village or entire nation.
