We're conveniently located in the heart of Sydney, within the Sydney Eye Hospital. Our institute facilitates research, education and patient care to prevent vision loss from eye diseases and conditions.
Vision loss has significant economic and social impacts on the Australian community, costing the economy more than $16 billion annually for persons aged 40 and over alone.
We're working to find better treatments and to improve the quality of life of people with eye diseases.
We provide specialised clinical services and research in the diagnosis, treatment and management of eye diseases

Our eye specialists are experts in diagnosing and treating eye diseases and condition.
We're located on the historic and central premises of the Sydney Eye Hospital on Macquarie Street in Sydney. This co-location has important benefits for the treatment of patients and for clinical trials and research.
We're also responsible for operating the Sydney Eye Hospital’s large lucentis injection clinic for patients suffering from macular degeneration.
We were established with seed funding provided by the Lions NSW/ACT Save Sight Foundation. This support has continued over the years, with the Lions Clubs providing critical funding for clinical equipment and technology to assist with patient care.
The Save Sight Institute is located in the South Block of Sydney Eye Hospital.
