ROYAL VICTORIA EYE AND EAR HOSPITAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION

The Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital Research Foundation is a charitable organisation dedicated to advancing clinical research into the prevention and treatment of eye and ear disease. Since its establishment in 1974, the Foundation has funded and coordinated studies that aim to develop new therapies capable of eliminating hearing and sight loss, thereby improving patient care and quality of life.

Through its Our Research programme the Foundation supports cutting-edge investigations, while the For Patients section provides accessible information to help individuals understand their conditions and treatment options. Education and Development offers training and networking opportunities for clinicians and trainees, exemplified by events such as the annual Eithne Walls Research Meeting and specialised ophthalmology conferences. The Foundation also invites public involvement through its Support Our Work campaign, encouraging donations that sustain its research agenda.

By fostering collaboration between clinicians, researchers and industry partners, the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital Research Foundation plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and delivering tangible benefits to patients across Ireland.
