About Layton Foundation

The Layton Vision Foundation is an eye charity dedicated to eradicating blindness in Australia, Oceania and South East Asia. The Foundation was founded in 2013 by Brisbane eye doctor Professor Christopher Layton. The Layton charity team members focus on the future of eye health by developing new, minimally invasive therapies that can treat a family, village, or entire nation.

Our aim is to create single, curative interventions which, it is envisaged, will have substantial application in developing countries and international aid. The Foundation’s strength is its complete bench-to-bedside development pipeline, moving discoveries from high technology discovery work of targeted therapeutics in cell culture systems right through to sponsored clinical trials.
