Ophthalmology explores every component of the visual system to protect and enhance one of our most vital senses: vision. This dynamic field continues to evolve rapidly, and FORSEE is at the forefront of these advances.
FORSEE Canada recognizes research as one of the three necessary arms of our holistic approach to help every eye, everywhere. Just as every part of the eye has a role in vision, every member of our research team—spanning subspecialists and allied eyecare professionals—plays a vital part in driving innovation. By identifying gaps in care and emphasizing real-world impact, we translate research into meaningful advances in patient care.
Your support helps us drive research that connects learning with breakthrough solutions in eye care. By donating, you empower future professionals, fuel discovery, and create lasting impact for communities in need. Together, we can turn knowledge into vision for every eye, everywhere.
As part of our holistic approach to eyecare, we use insights from our outreach programs to inform an epidemiological understanding of vision health. This enables us to identify gaps in care and guide data-driven solutions.
Another key aim of our research program is to train the next generation of medical professionals in foundational science and advanced clinical research. By equipping future healthcare providers with an evidence-based skillset, we will help ensure that research and innovation remain central to patient care.
To that end, FORSEE Canada offers the Summer Research Scholarship: a competitive award for second-year Canadian medical students pursuing further ophthalmological studies.

To bring full circle to our holistic approach in advancing eyecare, we couple our epidemiological mindset with our experience from our outreach programs, to address eyecare gaps in the vulnerable populations. In essence our outreach missions look towards the direct care for the individual’s eye and the eyes of generations to come.
Your support powers everything we do, from providing essential lab equipment and advanced diagnostic tools for our volunteer clinicians to funding scholarships that prepare the next generation of eyecare professionals. The burden of eye disease has long outpaced ophthalmological research investment, but with your help, we can change this to advance eyecare today and into the future.
