Visionary Luncheon

The Visionary Luncheon is the Retina Foundation’s signature fundraising event to support its mission to save and restore sight. The medical research institution pioneers innovative research and cutting-edge clinical trials to uncover new solutions for patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), inherited retinal degeneration and pediatric eye disorders. Thanks to the support of generous donors, the Retina Foundation is able to provide care for patients with life-altering eye diseases and disorders at no cost
