Eyehope funds training for all health professionals who are treating patients
with sight problems. We approach training needs in two ways:
- Supporting individual training requirements where significant
benefits are identified
- Utilising the skills and experience of our volunteers to run national
training courses. These have become recognised entries in the annual
Ophthalmology calendar

“The Intraocular Lens Research Group at St Thomas’ Hospital aims to achieve the best outcomes for cataract patients. With Eyehope’s support, I have had the opportunity to receive training in cataract research, both in the clinic and the laboratory. I have gained experience in cataract research from the initial planning stages through to study completion, including presentation of results at international meetings and publishing in medical journals. With this training I am able to provide excellent care to my cataract patients.”
