Research projects are targeted at blinding inflammatory eye diseases for which there are currently no cures and for which all preliminary data indicate that abnormal immunoregulation plays a significant role in their pathogenesis. Dr. Foster selects projects based on his experience as a world renowned eye surgeon, a chemotherapist and immunologist. Click here to view current projects. Education and Outreach OIUFs physician education efforts center on training of ophthalmologists who chose additional training in the area of ocular immunology and uveitis through the fellowship training program pioneered by Dr. Foster and through the conduct of continuing medical education (CME) courses for ophthalmologists and for optometrists on the matter of ocular inflammation and corneal disease. Patient Education and outreach efforts take aim at informing and educating patients, their families and healthcare providers about potentially blinding Ocular inflammatory diseases and offering the most advanced information in ocular Immunology. Uveitis Support Group Fund The Uveitis support Group Fund helps to support its free resources, which include: online support group page for kids, parents, and adults that are accessible through the world wide web free of charge to anyone living with ocular inflammatory disease; a quarterly Newsletter, six support group meetings at MERSI each year, along with a pediatric conference every other year and a Walk for Vision. The group also assists with establishment of support groups around the world, as well as the following important educational and support resources: Parent and Teachers Guide; Ocular Inflammatory Guide(coming soon); and Living with Uveitis Documentary. A new documentary focusing on adults who get uveitis is being developed and will be available in several months.
