Appeal on behalf of the Royal Eye Hospital League of Friends by Derek McCulloch
Contributions (preferably by crossed postal order or cheque) will be gratefully acknowledged and. should be addressed to Derek McCulloch Esq.[address removed]
Every week 250 people are registered as blind in England and Wales. Some of these cases are preventable, and the Research Department of the Royal Eye Hospital is devoted to that work of prevention.
The blind are those who cannot be helped by present-day methods of treatment. New methods of treatment are needed and this implies research, which is costly. This research department-the first of its kind-is largely devoted to the study of infections of the eye, the hereditary causes of blindness, and the anomalies of vision that develop in children.
