  • "What is Candle in the Dark?"

    Candle in the Dark is a charitable organisation, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation, funding research into gene therapy for inherited eye diseases, which leads to blindness in young children. Its aim is to help develop effective treatments, ultimately providing a cure for blindness and visual impairment.

  • "Who does the fund help?"

    Candle in the Dark aims to assist children who are affected by hereditary eye disorders such as Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA). Of the various forms of retinal degeneration, LCA has the earliest age of onset and is the most severe. As this disease is progressive, (it gets worse over time), it is critical to treat it as early as possible in order to have the best chances of recovery or stabilization. Hence the fund’s focus on children. Funding research offers the prospect of treatment to those with LCA.

  • "What does the fund do?"

    The Child Vision Research Fund raises money to financially support scientific research throughout the world dedicated to develop new treatments for genetic retinal degenerative diseases. It is also committed to promote public awareness of these conditions.
