Get involved

Thank you for your interest in helping One Clear Vision. 

Below are some ways you can assist us, but we are always happy to work with you on your ideas; please contact us for further information.

Donating

There are a number of ways you can donate to One Clear Vision.  Please visit our donations page for further details.

Fund raising

Your efforts will help to highlight our condition as well as bring people together to have fun whilst working towards our aims.

We would be grateful if you are considering fund raising that you do not refer to the One Clear Vision as a registered charity as it is not. If you are embarking on a type of fund raising which may carry an element of risk you may wish to consider your position regarding insurance cover. If you require further information please refer to the Institute of Fundraising website (link opens in new window).

Volunteering

If you are interested in volunteering then please contact us or complete and return the attached Volunteer Application Form.

We value all contributions whether you can spare an hour a month from home or want to be much more involved. In particular, we are looking for researchers, people with a medical or scientific background, experience in fund-raising, marketing and events organising.

Our current projects:

Flash-based floater simulation

Explaining the difference between simple vitreous floaters and the severe, debilitating floaters associated with advanced vitreous degeneration has always been a challenge. This distinction is important and a realistic, visual simulation which demonstrates the fluidic, "swirly" motion and vision obscuring effects of floaters would serve as a powerful educational tool.  One Clear Vision would like to host a realistic simulation on this web site. Please email us for a full design spec.

Surgeon interviews

We'd like to build on our collection by adding interviews with surgeons, ophthalmologists, and researchers. If you are somebody who can facilitate this or recommend someone we should approach then please let us know.

Research projects

If you suffer from severe floaters, please contribute to the body of knowledge about the condition by completing our online VFQ-25 questionnaire.

One Clear Vision is actively trying to build relationships with individual researchers and research institutions. If you are in a position to conduct or to support research into this condition, please contact us.
