Congress is making critical decisions about FY26 funding, and vision research is at risk.

We need your voice now to protect and strengthen the National Eye Institute (NEI) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), which fuel the groundbreaking research that prevents blindness and restores sight.

⚠️ Despite rising vision loss—expected to double by 2050—federal funding remains dangerously low.
💡 NEI-backed discoveries have led to gene therapies, advanced imaging, and treatments that save sight and improve lives.
📢 But proposed cuts and structural changes threaten NEI’s ability to lead vision science.

Take 2 minutes to contact your members of Congress and urge them to:
✔️ Provide $51B for NIH and $1B for NEI in FY26
✔️ Preserve NEI as a dedicated institute within NIH

Your voice can help protect the future of sight. Take action today!
