The Eye Research Foundation (ERF)

Founded in 1993, The Eye Research Foundation (ERF) is dedicated to preserving and improving the vision of patients throughout the Treasure Coast. The mission of the Eye Research Foundation is to improve the quality of patients’ lives and vision through the development of new methods to better diagnose and treat eye disease. As Stuart's ONLY charitable organization dedicated solely to the research of eye disease, ERF serves the community as 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt charitable foundation dedicated exclusively to the advancement of science in ophthalmology. We offer a variety of community lectures, free eye disease screenings, and eye disease resources for groups and individuals throughout the Treasure Coast, spanning from Vero Beach to Jupiter.
