Description

The Lions Eye Institute (LEI) is a not-for-profit organisation with the mission to achieve excellence in scientific research and clinical practice to prevent blindness. It relies heavily on community support including the continued generosity of Lions Clubs state-wide to fund vital equipment, scholarships and fellowships.

LEI conducts scientific research into blindness across a broad spectrum of diseases, with a particular focus on the genetic basis of disease, broadly categorised into the following areas:

• genetics/population health
• physiology and pharmacology
• experimental immunology program
• molecular ophthalmology
• clinical research.
