The Wright Foundation

The Wright Foundation for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) foundation located in Los Angeles. Like so many good things in life, it started with the generosity and dedication of one man, Dr. Kenneth Wright, who had committed himself to bettering the vision of children with vision problems, often paying for surgical related procedures out of his own pocket. Its mission is to reduce blindness and suffering from eye disorders in infants and children, through research, medical education, and delivering quality eye care to all children without regard to insurance, status, or family income. Dr. Wright, medical director of the Wright Foundation, has been a practicing physician and pediatric ophthalmologist for over 20 years, and is currently Director of Pediatric Ophthalmology Research and Education at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The work of the Foundation is supported by private and institutional grants, with monies going directly to projects. Volunteers manage the Foundation’s administration.
