ABOUT
The Foundation
The purpose of the Ridley Eye Foundation (REF) is to support small incision cataract eye surgery for the most needy of the Developing World. For over 50 years the Ridley Eye Foundation has been supporting cataract surgery in West Africa, Eastern Europe, The Americas, India, Yemen, and Egypt. Our current geographic focus is Nepal where we have already established the Ridley Eye Foundation Nepal (REFN), and which is providing funds for locally organised medical camps to deliver cataract surgery in the remote areas above 2000m.
