The charity Fight for Sight is funding scientists at the University of Aberdeen to test two drugs for the treatment aniridia.

The team will determine whether taking either of the drugs by mouth or as eye drops can restore levels of a vital protein to normal levels. If successful the study could lead to future trials to test whether the drugs can reverse symptoms in adults, or even prevent them from occurring in babies.

The research will be led by Professor Martin Collinson who is part of our medical advisory team.
