Welcome to The ORIA website!

The Ophthalmic Research Institute of Australia (ORIA) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting research into the nature and cause of eye disease and the prevention of blindness.

The ORIA receives no funding from Government sources and yet, since 1984 alone, has contributed around $A7.5million to this type of research.

The ORIA was founded in 1953 by a group of ophthalmologists concerned with the need to advance eye research in Australia. The Institute’s first major project was to assist in the founding of the first Chair of Ophthalmology in Australia, which was established in Melbourne, and has since played a major role in eye research. The ORIA is now the research arm of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists whilst maintaining its own independent corporate structure.
