Vision for Tomorrow provides fantastic assistance for children with Aniridia and their families. The condition is so unusual that young parents are often at a loss to understand its implications and appropriate treatment. Fortunately, Vision for Tomorrow provides the resources and references to assure them their child will do just fine and grow up happy and healthy.

Great organization to support and bring awareness to a segment of the population affected by rare vision deficiencies. Funding goes towards research and support for families affected to hopefully one day find a cure. Great source of information on genetic vision conditions that are not widely known.

Vision for Tomorrow was a critical source for information and hope for my wife and I when our son was diagnosed with aniridia on day four of life. The Foundation serves as a valuable resource for the patient community and also raises money to fund promising research geared toward the low vision community. We strongly support the Foundation's mission.

VFT is such a wonderful group. In additional to the extensive research for Aniridia and Albinism, VFT serves as a general educational and networking group for those with Aniridia, Albinism and their families. Our son was born with Aniridia, we are very grateful for finding VFT quickly into his diagnosis and their continued efforts to fund research.

Since I have connected with VFT I am happy to see the transparency through the website and by talking with others. I am hopeful that the research will help my two boys, who inherited the condition from me, to keep the sight that they have.as they grow older..

Vision for Tomorrow has been so helpful for us as we learned to navigate our son's Aniridia diagnosis. We were able to meet others in the community, learn about ongoing research, and see that there was a lot of hope for a great future for our son. I appreciate how they send updates of current research too.

This organization is so important to those who live with rare eye disorders. The parents, Board members, researchers, doctors and donors work tirelessly for those individuals. Everyone should consider learning more and supporting this group. It can truly make a difference for those many do not know about.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to write about the Vision for Tomorrow Foundation! Through the leadership of a strong board and a group of dedicated volunteers, VFT carries out its mission to empower those with low vision due to aniridia and albinism to achieve their dreams. This is accomplished by supporting promising research, attending and helping to finance important conferences, and reaching out to families, while constantly searching for new initiatives and ideas. As the mother and grandmother of loved ones with aniridia, I know that VFT has been, and continues to be, a source of strength and a beacon of hope for our family.

I can't say enough about this great organization! Its dedicated volunteer staff devotes countless hours to such a wonderful cause - helping those living with aniridia and, hopefully, finding a cure for aniridia or finding a way to prevent it in the first place. By way of just one concrete example, VFT co-sponsored a symposium bringing together dozens of North American aniridia experts and organizations to share their researchist month. If VFT can achieve its goals, children will be able to know the beautiful gift of unaided reading, participate fully in many of the daily activities we take so much for granted, and achieve their full potential in life. VFT is a group of selfless individuals who deserve our support.

When I'm deciding whether or not to support a nonprofit, the first thing I look at is how much money the organization pays insiders. VFT passes that test with flying colors. Officers and members of the Board of Directors receive no compensation from VFT. And, as far as the day to day operations, those are handled by a dedicated group of unpaid volunteers. The second thing I look at is the organization's goals. VFT passes this test as well - it is a very worthy cause. So many of us take our vision for granted. What Aniridia does is steal the precious gift of sight from those it afflicts and leaves them, instead, with significant lifelong challenges. VFT's leadership group and volunteers are determined to fight Aniridia and stop it in its tracks. I wholeheartedly endorse Vision for Tomorrow.

My best friend’s husband and precious daughter both have aniridia. They have been through multiple surgeries. Without groups like Vision for Tomorrow, they will likely completely lose their full vision. I donate in hopes of one day restoring both of their vision. And I know they benefit from Vision for Tomorrow.
