Exploring new frontiers

In addition to maintaining our position as a leader in clinical care, funding allows Bascom Palmer Eye Institute to continue pursuing and achieving breakthroughs in research.

Philanthropy is the backbone of a pioneering research environment. It gives us the ability to bring flexibility to the creative process and provide a base to ensure that critically important research moves forward in times of reduced national funding. Our recent discoveries in gene therapy and new glaucoma treatments are just two examples of how our bold research at Bascom is shaping the future of ophthalmology.
