Wright Foundation for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus

Dr. Kenneth W. Wright, MD Director

The Wright Foundation is an US 501c3 non-profit organization established in 2002, dedicated to serving children with eye disorders and adults with strabismus (eye muscle imbalance). Our mission is to reduce blindness, alleviate suffering from pediatric eye conditions, and correct strabismus in both children and adults through research, education, and patient care. We have established ourselves as a leading foundation in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus.

The foundation has sponsored research resulting in over 100 peer-reviewed research articles—many of which have had landmark significance, influencing and advancing medical practice. In addition, our foundation initiated and is responsible for publishing the major academic textbooks in our field, including:

• Atlas of Strabismus Surgery (Springer)
• Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (Oxford University Press)
• Pediatric Ophthalmology for Primary Care (American Academy of Pediatrics)

We host both domestic and international educational seminars—both in-person and virtual—some of which have drawn over 400 physician attendees. The Foundation supports a visiting physician program so ophthalmologists both domestic and international can come to our center for in person training. Our patient care and educational outreach extend worldwide, participating in international medical missions across numerous countries, including:

Importantly, we provide care to children from all backgrounds, from high-profile individuals to those in need. We offer financial assistance to both underprivileged families and middle-class families struggling to afford care.

Through our commitment to research, education, and compassionate patient care, The Wright Foundation continues to make a profound impact on the lives of children and adults worldwide.
