ABOUT US

The Finney Retina Research Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness of the growing problem of vision loss due to Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy. Our goal is to raise funds for research so that new treatments can be developed and ultimately a cure can be found.

The Guys For Eyes calendar serves as a primary fundraiser and vehicle to increase awareness about the growing problem of vision loss due to these diseases. In addition to the calendar, The Finney Retina Research Foundation hosts events to increase community involvement and raise additional funds for retina research.

The Finney Retina Research Foundation was founded by Suzi Reynolds in 2004. The initial inspiration came from watching her mother struggle with severe vision problems caused by Myopic Degeneration. Her frustration grew as everyday tasks became more and more challenging. The treatments are few and uncertain, but additional inspiration and motivation was gained from the incredibly caring and talented doctors and employees at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Press attention received in 2005 prompted an overwhelming response from people nationwide. Emails arrive on a regular basis from people who, either themselves or their loved ones, have been affected by retina disease. Many just want to share their experiences, convey their anxiety, and extend support for the Foundation and Guys for Eyes. On occasion, people send pictures in hopes of being selected for the next calendar.
