Appeal on behalf of the Royal Eye Hospital League of Friends by Roger Bannister C.B.E. ,, M.R.C.P.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to Dr. Roger Bannister , Royal Eye Hospital, [address removed]
The League of Friends is aiming to complete the endowment of the Chair in Ophthalmology at the Royal Eye Hospital, where research is being carried out on the hereditary causes of blindness, the anomalies of vision that develop in children, and the study of infections of the eye. Every week more than 250 people are newly registered as blind: new methods of treatment are needed, and research is costly. £59,000 has already been raised towards the endowment of the Chair and this appeal is to help to bring the figure up to £100,000.
