Hope for Vision (HFV for short) is a non-profit organization aimed to raise awareness for blindness diseases and also help fund research to cure blindness.

History
Hope for Vision was founded by Betti Lidsky, who had founded the organization after two of her children were diagnosed with a genetic blindness disorder. The organization now relies on the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine to help find a cure for blindness and other eye related diseases. Throughout many years, HFV has raised money through walk-a-thons, galas, parties and conventions. In June, 2016, Chairman and President of HFV, Isaac Lidsky spoke at a TED Talk summit called "What reality are you creating for yourself" where he spoke about his illness and blindness.
