Helen Keller Prize for Vision Research
The Foundation believes that vision research will advance in direct proportion to the public's awareness of research efforts to end blindness. The Helen Keller Prize is a powerful symbol for vision researchers worldwide who labor to preserve the precious gift of sight. Helen Keller Laureates are selected by an international panel of vision researchers. The Prize is awarded at the annual convention of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), an international conclave that attracts more than 13,000 scientists and physicians. The Prize stipend supports the recipient's vision research. The Foundation considers this program to be one of its most important efforts to end blindness.
