Established in 2009 by the generosity of Louis and Dorothy Fox, the Louis J. Fox Center for Vision Restoration is the first national, comprehensive, multi-disciplinary research and clinical program dedicated to ocular regenerative medicine. It focuses on the restoration of sight through tissue optic nerve regeneration.
The Fox Center is now an internationally recognized leader for its innovative research and clinical translation of regenerative medicine-based therapies. The research at the Fox Center is focused on optic nerve regeneration and whole eye transplantation research, two of the most promising areas in ophthalmic research. By dedicating its world-renowned scientists, along with the financial resources of the Fox Center to these two puzzles, a framework emerges for finally conquering these two ocular maladies in an expedited fashion.
